Phil Anderson (1972) "More is Different". • limitations of “representative individual” “mean field” / continuum / linear way of thinking • conceptual gaps between various disciplines. - accompanying mysteries connected to the nature of life, intelligence, culture • arise exactly when "More Is Different". • life emerges from chemistry, chemistry from physics, conscience from life, social conscience/ organization from individual conscience etc.
The Microscopic Representation Method. MICRO - the relevant microscopic degrees of freedom INTER - their fundamental interactions MACRO - the macroscopic emerging collective objects • Intrinsically interdisciplinary: • Micro belongs to one science • Macro to another science • Mechanisms: statistical mechanics (?) phase transitions, scale invariance, spontaneous symmetry breaking etc At 1000 C nothing special happens to one or two H2O molecules! or 100 or 1000! How come that 1 Kg of them behave so dramatically?
- Microscopic Customers and Macroscopic Sales MICRO– Customers, products / ideas / information INTER– purchase, inform, learn, hear-say MACRO– global trends, waves of sales (e.g. Tamaguchi), hits, flops, market fluctuations, anomalous diffusion demarketing
Percolation transition From non-sales at all to a lot of sales Infinitely sharp at infinite size system
ALSO: effects of • Expectations Adaptation • Self tunning to criticality • Fractal fluctuations and correlations
ALSO: effects of Expectations Adaptation Fractal space-time fluctuationsProduct Success prediction (15/ 17)

- Microscopic Investors and Macroscopic Crashes /Power Laws MICRO - Investors, individual capital,shares INTER - sell/buy orders, gain/loss MACRO - social wealth distribution, market price fluctuations (cycles, crushes, booms, stabilization by noise)
-Microscopic Concepts and Macroscopic Ideas MICRO - concepts, connections between concepts INTER - creating/deleting/activating connections between concepts - Microscopic Seers and Macroscopic Sight MICRO - motion visual sensors for points and line elements. INTER - time and space local data integration. MACRO - Perception of 3 Dimensional global structure.
- Microscopic Picassos and Macroscopic Drawings MICRO - local line / motion features, mental states, mental eventsINTER - line breaks and mind events(changes) vs line/mind inertia.MACRO - drawing shapes, emergence of representational meaning - Microscopic Doctors and Macroscopic Health MICRO - Cells, Enzimes, Antigens, AntibodiesINTER- producing, destroying, changing state of a cell/enzime,MACRO- immunity, health, infection, sickness, inflamation. • Microscopic Drivers / police and Macroscopic Jams • MICRO - cars • INTER - go ahead/give way at intersections. • MACRO - traffic flow, jamming; self-organization; useless police
Microscopic Grimm Brothers and Macroscopic Stories MICRO – persons, relations INTER – change in relations ; acting MACRO –plot, story, meaning

Fundamentalists believe the market will eventually revert to the fundamental price. Hence, the price they offer will be determined by: Chartists, believe in trends they. The simplest choice for short times is a linear extrapolation Noise-traders are making “random” offers at a price randomly distributed around the current price.

Testing the Turing Test Do Men pass it?
Method: • Doing the imitation game not between human and computer but between a man and a woman. • Interrogator: needs to discover who is the man and who is the woman. Turing said – can be of either sex • Woman: Aim to help the interrogator. • Man: Aim to fool the interrogator. Turing himself talks about imitation game between man and woman!
