Kauffman (David)

Kauffman (David), likely referring to Stuart Kauffman, is a theoretical biologist and complex systems researcher renowned for his work on how biological and social systems evolve and organize. He proposes that life and innovation emerge from self-organizing processes driven by interactions and adaptation, rather than solely from random chance or deterministic laws. His concepts, like the "adjacent possible," explain how new possibilities and innovations arise incrementally, shaping evolution and societal change. Kauffman's work helps us understand how complex systems grow, adapt, and sustain themselves through internal dynamics rather than external control.
