“Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Most Wonderful”: Ruliobiology and the Theoretical Foundations of Biological Form

writings.stephenwolfram.com

Stephen Wolfram explains the concept of ruliobiology, a metamodel of biology. Explore the interplay of natural selection, adaptive evolution and computational irreducibility.

Linked is an intriguing article by the famous Stephen Wolfram which seems to build on his previous work and especially the primitive game of life. Not sure how important the work is. Wolfram make it sound earth shattering

Tufte CSS

Magic css library to make your stuff look as good as Tufte

Linked article is promising. Somehow Tufte’s book and opinions have become dogma among the technirati. Nothing against him but is the “Napoleon chart” the only example to admire? I’ve seen wall hangings, T-shirts, stickers and whole web sites admiring that one chart!

teamten.com

Nice article but I disagree with the conclusion. I have found that you need to combine the two and go back and forth. There is no single way. By the way, notice that if you believe in TDD, that approach generally starts bottom up (UNITs are at the bottom.) so whatever design comes out of that…
