Once again a superb posting by Vitorino Ramos on his blog. Heretofore I’d not been aware of the existence of hobo signs or the gum election, both of which nicely illustrate the various conceptual lenses associated with distributed cognition/knowledge. I’ll definitely be invoking these ideas. Good stuff!
I also notice another posting about Brian Arthur’s El Farol Bar Problem featuring both this famous paper and the actual bar – not surprisingly a place of light-hearted pilgrimage for those of us interested in complexity. Arthur’s problem is a must read.
