International & Transdisciplinary Workshop on Advanced Future Studies
Title: Exploring A Unified View Beyond Complexity
Venue: International Conference Hall III (2nd floor) in Clock Tower, Kyoto University
Period: February 15 (Thursday) and 16 (Friday), 2018
Organized by: International Research Unit of Advanced Future Studies (IRU-AFS),
Kyoto University
Co-organized by: Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University,
International Research Unit of Integrated Complex System Science (IRU-CSS), Kyoto
University, and Center for the Promotion of Interdisciplinary Education and Research(C-PIER), Kyoto University, Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN), Kyoto
Scope: Nature is full of emergent problems. Beyond our understandings, our efforts tosolve these problems often cause additional problems. We should need revolutionary
paradigm shifts in our practical approach from solving and approaching problems
already appeared in the past to predicting and protecting the emergence of problems in
the future. For this purpose, we should realize that there must be the same driving forcesthat generate the emerging problems on the one hand, and that allow us to predict theproblems which will appear in the future on the other hand. The same forces would bethus the double-edged sword: wonders and benefits.
The present workshop would, therefore, consider paradoxical way of thinking basedon self-similarity and self-difference, often considered incompatible with each other.
Using such a paradoxical way of thinking, we would like to explore simple principles
beyond complexity. Actually, simple principles of complex dynamics could be deduced
from the demand that the underlying principles should be self-consistent, regardless ofthe space-time scale with which we are concerned.
