DESCRIPTION:Complex social and biological systems are at the heart of many
  global challenges we face today. We will explore how concepts from inform
 ation theory can provide insight into these systems’ dynamics and potent
 ially their adaptability. First\, we'll discuss new techniques for mapping
  the multi-scale nature of armed conflict\, identifying patterns of confli
 ct instigation and propagation across various spatiotemporal scales\, and 
 touch on their relation to climate. Next\, we'll explore large-scale patte
 rns in ecosystem competition\, revealing how sessile organisms generate di
 stinct spatial distributions through resource competition and metabolic co
 nstraints. Finally\, we'll introduce a unifying framework for innovation a
 nd obsolescence\, applicable across fields from genetic evolution to marke
 t economics and scientific progress. In each of these cases\, we are devel
 oping a foundation for models that will be essential for understanding soc
 ial and biological systems in new\, unimagined scenarios.
