Cryptographic stigmergy
As someone who more or less tracks the various (theoretical and practical) applications of stigmergy this one here is a first. I faintly grasp the issues in blockchain and cryptocurrency so I’m curious as to what stigmergy might bring to my understanding. Correspondingly, I’m curious as to what those in blockchain-crypto circles think of stigmergy?…
Cosmos + Taxis now listed on Complexity Explorer
We are pleased to announce that C+T is now listed on Santa Fe Institute’s Complexity Explorer, the preeminent curated open access site for complexity studies of a technical and non-technical nature. Whether you want to get some basic understanding of complexity in its many guises or you are looking to refresh your extant knowledge, there is…
A rhythm generator based on stigmergy
Interesting to see the theoretical inroads stigmergy is now making into the field of music. [t]he idea for this research is to create a new rhythmic generator technology. This system will be capable of generating multiple lines of percussion that sound natural. The synchronization will be self-organising and thus will be governed by a Stigmergic…

Microblogging and stigmergy
Yet another article that detects a stigmergic dynamic within a digital domain, namely microblogging, made freely available via Sensors. distributed knowledgemicrobloggingspontaneous ordersstigmergicstigmergic cognitionStigmergy
Sleep behavior assessment via smartwatch and stigmergic receptive fields
This from Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. Stigmergy is finding ever more practical application. In this paper, we present an automatic tool for monitoring sleep behavior that uses a commercially available smartwatch, in order to sample heart rate and wrist inertial data, and a novel detection technique based on stigmergic receptive fields (SRFs). The SRF transforms…
Stigmergy and Methodological individualism
We’ve been bloody well saying this for the past decade! Here and here and several other places besides. Good though to see The Review of Austrian Economics carry this paper — the late Don Lavoie (as did Hayek before him) was the first of the new generation of Austrians to explicitly grasp the concept of stigmergy, though admittedly,…
RoboCup 2018 Montreal
The forthcoming RoboCup football (soccer) tournament in Montreal promises to be the largest yet. When established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050.

Understanding Cryptocurrencies with Stigmergy
This from Alexander Blum writing in the HuffPost. We already have markets, the republic of science (Polanyi), urban design (Jacobs) and much more besides, spontaneous orders that embody these worthy stygmergic [sic] virtues (quote below). Writing a decade or so ago, the downside then expressed was that there runs the risk of ‘‘a kind of…
