John Holland 的《Hidden Order》。我把它看作程序员视角的复杂适应系统。关于涌现系统、CAS 之类的书很多，但这本改变了我的思考方式和看世界的方式。
"Hidden Order" by John Holland. I think of it as a programmers view of complex adaptive systems. There are many books about Emergent systems, CAS, etc. but this one changed how I think and how I see the world.
天哪，人不禁要怀疑一个能产出这篇文章、尤其是这些评论的系统。如果你对这个领域感兴趣，可以考虑：* John Holland 的《Hidden Order》。尤其是如果你有技术背景，那就从「我会怎么造一个这样的东西」的角度去读它。（见 RIP）。* 《Signs Of Life: How Complexity Pervades Biology》。一本让人招架不住的书……
OMG one must wonder about a system that produces this article and especially these comments. If you are interested in this area you might consider: * Hidden Order by John Holland. Especially if you are technical, then read it from the perspective of "how would I build one of these"? (See RIP). * Signs Of Life: How Complexity Pervades Biology. An overwhelming book.…
约翰·霍兰德的《隐序》（Hidden Order）。真的。钱是什么？复杂自适应系统里的消息总线（message bus）。关于复杂性的资料外面一抓一大把，但这本视角非常独特。如果你真想彻底开眼，去找找《生命迹象》（Signs of Life）……
John Holland, "Hidden Order". Really. What is money? A message bus in a complex adaptive system. Lots of other stuff out there on complexity but this has a unique perspective. If you really want to go crazy find "Signs of Life,…
Carl Rogers 的《On Becoming a Person》，与其说是内容，不如说是这个概念是基础性的。还有 John Holland 的《Hidden Order》提供了一个看我们社会存在的透镜。它们改变了我看自己、看自己在世界中位置的方式。
"On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers, not so much the content, but because the concept is foundational. And "Hidden Order" by John Holland provides a lens for our social existence. They changed how I see myself and how I see my place in the world.
好文章。我觉得系统设计和复杂适应系统很迷人。我强烈推荐 John Holland 的书《Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity》。它偏技术，但面向受过教育的非技术读者，描述足够多，你可以照着他的模型写代码。我真希望他……
Great article. I find systems design and complex adaptive systems fascinating. I really recommend the book, "Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity" by John H Holland. It is technical but aimed at the educated, non-technical reader, with enough description that you could code along to his models. I really wish he…
……《Mythical Man Month》告诉我们纽约市不可能存在。而没有哪家公司运营着纽约市。所以它显然不可能存在。对吧？可它就是存在。也许我们需要理解它是怎么做到的。我的尝试是从 John Holland 的《Hidden Order》开始的。别照着它做。就把它当个起点。
…Mythical Man Month tells us that New York City cannot exist. And no corporation runs NYC. So clearly it cannot exist. Right? Yet it does. Perhaps we need to understand how. My attempts have started with 'Hidden Order' by John Holland. Don't follow it. Just use it as a starting point.
