vi WCCS26: World Conference on Complex Systems 20-22nd April
April and WCCS26 seems an age ago, but the motivational impetus provided by this experience has been ongoing.

At the closing ceremony there was an award for the best paper which was awarded to Luis Comolli for:
Emergence in Designed Agroecosystems:
Collective Dynamics in a Perennial Multi-Species Agroforestry Network
Sat by Luis, I offered to take his photo to which he agreed - so better late than never! And: Well done Luis!
My presentation on the 21st April was part of:
Parallel Session 2
Track 1 - Agent-Based and Social Complexity
Session chair: Helena Knyazeva
▪ Peter Jones
Presenting a Universal and Simple Conceptual Workbench to Situate and Encompass Complexity
▪ Nisrine Jarmoune and Bouchra Lebzar
The Ontology of Behavior: Formalizing the Institutional Project as a Complex System
▪ Lionel Scotto d’Apollonia, Florian Charvolin, Lise Verlaet, Deborah Nourrit, Dominique Deveaux, Elisabeth Sénégas and Nourdine Bara
Participatory Action Research with and for Society: The Case of “Oasis of Fraternity”
▪ Harvey Spencer Sánchez-Restrepo, Jorge Louçã, Martha Belén Carmona-Soto and Sofialeticia Morales-Garza
Topological Patterns of Academic Success: Insights from Complex Network Analysis
To be clear there was a great deal in all the sessions. I noticed in Nisrine Jarmoune's presentation, however, more specific conceptual overlap in terms of the individual, collective - groups, behaviour and institutions, with reference to ontology and philosophy. Several mathematical concepts also arose and since April online discussion has proved very interesting. In the near future I hope to report on how ideas develop and may be taken further, both for Nisrine's PhD studies and my work on Hodges' model.
More details to follow.
I have noticed the main website for WCCS appears to be unavailable? I will check.
