Concepts (3)
concept
- Multi-scale systemsrelated_toSystems comprising nested hierarchies (cells→organisms→societies); central to understanding collective intelligence
- Long-range coherence in sequencesassociated_withAbility to maintain organized behavior over extended scales; shown limited in flat autoregressive models, enabled in hierarchical/biological systems.
- hierarchical interactionsassociated_withEffective interactions between subgraphs, enabling local order amid global disorder; characteristic of biological multiscale systems

- A framework originating from Levin that formalizes how hierarchical biological systems—from cells to tissues to organs—exhibit integrated problem-solving and adaptive plasticity across multiple levels of organization (metabolic, transcriptional, physiological, anatomical). It models system-level behaviors as emergent from competition and cooperation among heterogeneous subunits within composite agents, explaining how goals and regulations scale across biological scales.
