  • Essays on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis
    Rodrick Wallace
    From the ’punctuated equilibrium’ of Eldrege and Gould, through Lewontin’s ’triple helix’ and the various visions and revisions of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) of Laland and others, both data and theory have demanded an opening-up of the 1950’s Evolutionary Synthesis that so firmly wedded evolutionary theory to the mathematics of gene frequency analysis. It can, ho...

  • Essays on Strategy and Public Health
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book is a collection of essays that explore commonalities and contrasts between strategy in armed conflict and strategy in public health. The first part uses the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to study strategy as an exchange of messages between adversaries, in the context of underlying power relations. The ’messages’ to be exchanged are cons...

  • Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort-and some confidence-be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and ’ex...

  • The Recurrence of COVID-19 in New York State and New York City
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    As a follow-up to COVID-19 in New York City: an Ecology of Race and Class Oppression, which showed that decades of discriminatory public policies shaped the Bronx into the epicenter of the first wave of COVID-19, this book examines the build up to the crest and subsequent ebbing of the second wave of COVID-19 across the 62 counties of New York State (NYS) and 152 ZIP Code areas...

  • Consciousness, Cognition and Crosstalk
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book makes application to the dynamics of arousal and distraction, and to other examples. A modified version of the Kadanoff picture of phase transitions in consciousness emerges from the Morse Function itself in a surprisingly standard manner, closely associated with the breaking of groupoid symmetries driven by fundamental equivalence class algebras. Although this is far...

  • Politics, Hierarchy, and Public Health
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    The authors examine previously observed concepts of early aging and death, such as socioecomic stresses and health inequalities, to state-level populations and survey in detail the grinding pressures of steep economic, social, and political hierarchy on hundreds of millions of people. ...

  • COVID-19 in New York City
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    This book is the first social epidemiological study of COVID-19 spread in New York City (NYC), the primary epicenter of the United States. New York City spread COVID-19 throughout the United States. The context of epicenter formation determined the rapid, extreme rise of NYC case and mortality rates. Decades of public policies destructive of poor neighborhoods of color heavily ...

  • Cognitive Dynamics on Clausewitz Landscapes
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book applies cutting-edge methods from cognitive and evolutionary theories to develop models of conflict between hierarchically-structured cognitive entities under circumstances of imprecision, uncertainty and stress. Characterized as friction and the fog-of-war by the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, such conditions impair institutional cognition in real-ti...

  • Right-to-Work Laws and the Crumbling of American Public Health
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    This book discusses the socioeconomic effects of Right-to-Work (RTW) laws on state populations. RTW laws forbid requiring union membership even at union-represented worksites. The core of the 22 long-term RTW states was the Confederacy, cultural descendants of rigidly hierarchical agrarian feudal England. RTW laws buttress hierarchy and power imbalance which unions minimize at ...

  • Clear-Cutting Disease Control
    Luis Fernando Chaves / Luke R. Bergmann / Rodrick Wallace
    The vector-borne Zika virus joins avian influenza, Ebola, and yellow fever as recent public health crises threatening pandemicity.By a combination of stochastic modeling and economic geography, this book proposes two key causes together explain the explosive spread of the worst of the vector-borne outbreaks.Ecosystems in which such pathogens are largely controlled by environmen...

  • Computational Psychiatry
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book explores mental disorders from a uniquely evolutionary perspective. Although there have been many attempts to mathematically model neural processes and, to some extent, their dysfunction, there is very little literature that models mental function within a sociocultural, socioeconomic, and environmental context. Addressing this gap in the extant literature, this book...

  • Gene Expression and Its Discontents
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    This book describes how epigenetic context, in a large sense, affects gene expression and the development of an organism, using the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to construct statistical models useful in data analysis. The approach allows deep understanding of how embedding context affects development. We find that epigenetic information sources act as tunable...

  • Carl von Clausewitz, the Fog-of-War, and the AI Revolution
    Rodrick Wallace
    The language of business is the language of dreams, but the language of war is the language of nightmare made real. Yet business dreams of driverless cars on intelligent roads, and of other real-time critical systems under the control of algorithmic entities, have much of war about them. Such systems, including military institutions at the tactical, operational and strategic sc...

  • Canonical Instabilities of Autonomous Vehicle Systems
    Rodrick Wallace
    The asymptotic limit theorems of control and information theories make it possible to explore the dynamics of collapse likely to afflict large-scale systems of autonomous ground vehicles that communicate with each other and with an embedding intelligent roadway. Any vehicle/road system is inherently unstable in the control theory sense as a consequence of the basic irregulariti...

  • Consciousness
    Rodrick Wallace
    This book is not an intellectual history or popular summary of recent work on consciousness in humans. Bernard Baars (1988), Edelman and Tononi (2000), and many others, have written such, and done it well indeed. This book, rather, brings the powerful analytic machinery of communication theory to bear on the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) model of consciousness which Baars int...

  • Gene Expression and Its Discontents
    Deborah Wallace / Rodrick Wallace
    Gene Expression and its Discontents examines a class of probability models describing how epigenetic context affects gene expression and organismal development, using the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory in a highly formal manner. Taking classic results on spontaneous symmetry breaking abducted from statistical physics in groupoid, rather than group, circumstance...
