Hi,
This is directed mostly to steve and frank and anybody else who attended the SFI summer course at St. Johns all those years ago. There was always a set of lectures in which a bunch of old guys went crazy about how discontinuity was the crux of complexity. Sorry to put it so ham-handedly, but I never quite understood. It was something like, “because we treat our parameter spaces as continuous, when they are actually discontinuous, that we misunderstand all sorts of natural phenomena, including high tails.” My intuition was that the lecturers were on trick ponies who never figured out what their trick was actually worth.
So, is this paper the same thing? And should I have been paying better attention to those lecturers?
