Complexity ... vieing for the crown - Commentary #15 June, 1998

Rudolph Marcus' 1992 Nobel Prize winning work in chemistry. Prof. Marcus developed a new technique describing the mechanisms involved in transfer of electrons between atoms and molecules. He did not intend it as such, but his work is superiorly significant because it in fact describes the processes of complexity building at this level of organization in the universe. It also tends to validate the Integrity Paradigm theses of "complexity" being essentially 1) organization formed where there is ongoing and or recursive "communication", and 2) several interactive local entropies coordinating behaviorally. This, quite in opposition to the mainframe perception of "complexity" as a mysterious emergence phenomena in which complex systems "self-create" themselves magically out of nothing, autocatalytically.
