Abstract:

The aim of this research is the development of a unified theory of complex networks involving four essential aspects the hard limits on what is achievable constraints, misnamed laws, the organizing principles that succeed or fail in achieving them architectures and protocols, the resulting high variability data and robust yet fragile behavior observed in real systems behavior, data, and the processes by which systems evolve variation, selection, design.
