Papers about randomness in complex systems

[bvssvni]

Posting stuff I find, which sometimes happens by pure luck.

Collecting this information here because it turns out you can't get reproducible and accurate measurements without a significant effort. Also need to consider the interacting with an external complex world, which means you might not be able to translate knowledge easily to a hybrid of two economies. Need to borrow some ideas from work on complex systems.

• PhD thesis about adding randomness to arbitrary decisions in systems. It might seem counter-intuitive, but a complex system can be highly sensitive to initial configurations, and this introduces bias in the long running behavior. One learns more predictable information by varying parameters with noise. Hopefully this can be used to select proper random distributions based on some knowledge about the parameters.
