Half-Life of Facts; Overcomplicated systems.

Arbesman is a complexity scientist and author, formerly scientist-in-residence at Lux Capital. He wrote 'The Half-Life of Facts' (2012), arguing that established knowledge becomes obsolete at measurable rates, and 'Overcomplicated' (2016), examining how software and biological systems grow beyond our ability to understand them. His work bridges mathematics, biology, and the study of complex adaptive systems.
