What is the difference between first 1st looks at static snapshots of society
and second part of the course? 2nd looks at changing dynamics
What paradigm underlines the digital revolution
"computational science"?
In the late 1980s, how much of all less than 1% -> 99%
technology stored info was digital and
what percentage is it now?
What does it mean that the amount of each 2-3 years, as much is added to what we have
technologically stored info "doubles" accumulated since the very beginning
every 2-3 years?
What more is being documented? social reality
Did the dna of all human cells store less
more or less info than digital tech in
2014?
What do evolutionary theorists say every time we (life) came up with a new way of
about the "Major transitions in processing info, a major transition happened
evolutions"?

T or F? Complexity is modeled with False
simple averages of small number of
interacting variables.
Why is it limiting to study society with societies contain more than 2-3 variables and are too
the dominant scientific methods from comfortable to be modelled with aggregate
the 19th and 20th century? averages
When doing social science, we study networks of people and their technology
what levels of abstraction?
How and in reference to what did he at each of these levels, new rules/laws "emerge" that
use the word "emergence"? can be studied
Who does the anteater(a bear like an ant colony called "Aunt Hillary"
animal) communicate with in this
metaphor?
What baffled philosophers like Kant how predictable social patterns emerge from a
and sociologists like Durkheim? bunch of individual free will
What was a main distinction made by the intention of the individual and collective

interested in what?
What was the main approach toward he made empirical observations and from there
science adopted by Charles Darwin? developed ideas
What did Albert Einstein do in 1905 he developed theory, not based on empirical
and 1915? observations, but on ideas and 1st principles
How does this relate to the "very short Einstein worked on a problem with few variables(E =
history of science" of 3 consecutive mc^2) and Darwin on one with average tendencies of
waves that we had reviewed? many observations
What is the so-called "digital footprint" the digital evidence you leave behind with a digital

How do you approach science data->analyses->ideas
through induction?
Loosely speaking, what term can you a directed bet

Deduction: theory->data
The method that Albert Einstein deduction
spearheaded in the work on relativity
by going from mathematical theories
over hypothesis toward observable
phenomena is called:
The unconventional name of 'glass of examine the logical interrelationships among some
red wine theorizing' is used here to collection of verbal statements or thoughts
