functional complexity

Flusser’s category of complexity where a system provides a complex use (like chess), enabling creative plays.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

structural complexity
associated_with
Flusser’s category of complexity where the system elements have very complex internal relationships (like apparatus).

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Environmental Complexityconcept0.822
Thesis that complexity of environment drives cognitive evolution; mentioned in relation to sensorimotor organization.
Functional closureconcept0.815
The property of a subsystem that cannot influence others; used to lesion systems in simulations.
Functional Programmingframework0.811
One of the three major competing approaches to parallel programming mentioned in the paper; used for comparison with Linda.
Functional Similarityconcept0.797
Similarity measured with respect to network behavior/function rather than statistical correlation of activations.
Computational Functionalismframework0.781
Hypothesis that some class of computations suffices for consciousness; central assumption for AI consciousness route.
Functional Adaptationconcept0.780
The deep fit between a building's form and its functional requirements, achieved only through differentiation.
What Kinds Of Functional Relationships Between Components Arequestion0.777
Pure Functional Programmingframework0.771
A paradigm relying on recursion equations without assignment; Linda authors compare it on DNA sequence similarity problem.
