复杂系统科学:普遍性的梦想,跨学科的现实
Complex Systems Science: Dreams of Universality, Reality of Interdisciplinarity
摘要:
使用相关文章的大型数据库(~ 215 000条记录),我们实证研究“复杂系统“领域及其主张,以找到适用于一般系统的普遍原则。通过对论文共享的参考文献的研究,我们可以对这个高度跨学科的领域的结构获得一个全球性的观点。我们表明,它的整体一致性并不产生于一个普遍的理论,而是从计算技术和富有成效的适应性的想法,自组织特定的系统。我们还发现,不同学科之间的交流通过特定的“交易区”,即围绕特定工具(DNA微芯片)或概念(网络)创建接口的子社区。
英文摘要:
Using a large database (~ 215 000 records) of relevant articles, we empirically study the "complex systems" field and its claims to find universal principles applying to systems in general. The study of references shared by the papers allows us to obtain a global point of view on the structure of this highly interdisciplinary field. We show that its overall coherence does not arise from a universal theory but instead from computational techniques and fruitful adaptations of the idea of self-organization to specific systems. We also find that communication between different disciplines goes through specific "trading zones", ie sub-communities that create an interface around specific tools (a DNA microchip) or concepts (a network).
