	== ~~Initial schedule~~ ==		== Aims and Motivation ==

	'''~~Tu Apr 4~~''' ~~Discussion about 1.Overview~~ and ~~2.NeuroIntroTheory~~. ~~'''Th Apr 6''' Demos~~ and ~~questions on driving game~~, ~~balancing~~, and ~~theory questions~~ and ~~clarifications~~		'''Aims''': Complex tech, bio, neuro, med, eco, and socio-econ networks have both strikingly universal shared architectural features and constraining "laws" but with extremely different domain specific details. This course will use familiar case studies to motivate a new mathematical framework for understanding these similarities and differences, emphasizing layering, dynamics, optimization, nonlinearity, learning, communications, and control, sparsity and structure, and tradeoffs between robustness, efficiency, and evolvability. The aim will be to establish a common core of concepts accessible to anyone at Caltech, with optional additional domain and math details more aimed at experts. Lectures will primarily be by video with class time devoted to discussions. Lots of live demos and games involving audience participation.

	'''~~Tu Apr 11''' Recap above and start discussion about 3.Balance~~ and ~~3.x1.ExtrasVision. ''~~'~~Th Apr 13~~''~~' Finish discussion~~ of 3.~~Balance, 3~~.~~x1.ExtrasVision~~, ~~3.x2.TuringArchMiscDetails, and waterbed effect~~.		'''Motivating case studies and projects''' will be drawn from a variety of areas. Students with domain expertise can help form teams to explore using new theory in these areas. There will be videos and reading on these topics, but students are urged to suggest others.

	'''~~Tu Apr 18~~'~~'' Bridging discussion~~ to ~~turbulence involving minimal dynamics~~ and ~~norms. Time permitting~~, ~~brief intro to basic of chimps~~, ~~bonobos~~, and ~~baboons. '''Th Apr 20''' Special guest lecture on turbulence by Dennice Gayme, CDS alum~~ and ~~now assistant professor~~ and ~~Carol Croft Linde Faculty Scholar at Hopkins. Dennice will also give the GALCIT colloquium at 3pm on Friday on wind farms.~~		''Neuroscience'': sensorimotor control, spiking neurons, and limits to performance; planning and reflex; modularity, plasticity, learning, and evolution; vision and the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR); balance and bipedalism; automation and (un)conscious; fMRI and EEG analysis; throwing and hitting a 100 mph fastball;

	~~If you are interested~~ in ~~medicine~~ and/~~or biology see~~: 4.~~MedPhysio&HeartRateVar and 5~~.~~BioGlycoOscillate~~. If there is ~~enough interest we~~'~~ll have~~ a ~~week later focused~~ on these.		''Internet'': Software defined networking (SDN), Internet of things (IOT), Application driven networking (ADN), content centric, operating systems, Network function virtualization (NFV), routing, congestion control, end-to-end and local, protocol stacks, aggregation

			''Microbial cell'': metabolism; glycolytic oscillations; stress response; signal transduction; gene regulation; evolution, horizontal gene transfer; immune mechanisms; pathogenesis; microbiomes; phage physiology;

			''Power'': Future smartgrid; optimization, control; cascading outages; challenge of renewables; role of storage and controllable loads

			''Ecosystems'': wildfire ecology; Mediterranean climates; fire in the earth system

			''Medicine and physiology'': cardiovascular physiology, heart rate variability, (an)aerobic metabolism, fatigue, training; sepsis and shock; electrocardiographic diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction; development, wound healing, and cancer

			''Physics'': multiscale and complexity; high shear flows, turbulence, coherent structures, blunting, and drag; statistical mechanics, fluctuation-dissipation, back action and measurement, uncertainty principles, quantum measurement; phase transitions, criticality, optimization;

			''Social sciences'': behavorial economics, casinos, the hot hand fallacy (fallacy), (non)stationary stochastic process, and evolutionary psychology; risk and uncertainty; chimps, bonobos, baboons, and gorillas; orcas and elephants; ants and bees; violence; patriarchy and matriarchy; fear, anger, hatred; empathy, compassion; language; bipedalism and weapons; agriculture and owners, soldiers, and slaves; Egypt, Sparta, Athens, Rome, China; Adam Smith; American Civil War ; technology, industrialization, and automation; World wars and depressions; wealth inequality; the 60s (1860s and 1960s) and "rights"; financialization; tech and social networks; current politics and media; Putin, Trump, and Brexit;
			[http://www.slate.com/blogs/wild_things/2014/05/22/animal_social_justice_equality_in_bonobos_chimps_monkeys_lions_baboons.html Article on animal social justice]

			''Transitions in evolution, architecture, and complexity'': e.g. life, metabolism, ribosomes, oxygen, mitochondria, brains, flight, warm blood, maternal care, bipedalism, weapons, language, agriculture, states, money, industry, technology, IOT, ...

			''Universal laws and architectures'': across all domains there are hard limits or "laws" on robustness vs efficiency, speed vs accuracy, with efficiency and robustness conservation laws that limit what is possible; universal architectures allow components to achieve what laws allow, and mix diverse components to create systems that achieve what no component can alone; universals including layering, hourglasses and bowties with thin waists and knots; planning and reflex layers; apps, OS, and hardware; horizontal swapping of apps, genes, memes; these are all largely unknown in science and poorly taught in engineering, with little or no theory, until recently; LEGOS as a model system; Darwin, Turing, Bode, Wiener, Shannon, Von Neumann, the death of cybernetics;

			''Infectious hijacking'': layered architectures are vulnerable to infectious hijacking; mechanisms that swap apps, genes, and memes facilitate hijacking by viral, pathogenic versions; toxoplasmosis and zombie parasites; phage kill half the ocean's bacteria daily; network and automation technologies with increasingly dangerous, pervasive cybersecurity vulnerabilities; human's ultimate weakness may be strongly held beliefs (memes) that are contagious, false, dangerous, and unhealthy; parasites vs predators;

			''New “sciences”'': complexity science; network science; edge of chaos; power laws; self-organized criticality; scale-free networks; small worlds; zombie science; hoaxiness; emergulence

			'''Theory foundations''': We will aim for a more integrated and accessible treatment of control theory, dynamical systems, optimization, probability and statistics, machine learning, communications theory, and computational complexity. Focus on "deep" fragilities. Previous familiarity or study is helpful but not essential as the questions arising in the case studies can be largely appreciated with minimal math, though the answers go through layers of increasing theory complexity. Students who do have backgrounds in these areas will be particularly useful in teams with domain experts.
