Conference: Causality — Reality

We seek to manage and control our world by establishing causalities. And we try to use science to help us. However one of the biggest challenges for science is to untangle or better understand the relationship between causality and reality. This is especially true for complexity science that deals with the real world, or with complex systems like our brains or our immune system,

Causality is the agency or efficacy that connects one process (the cause) with another (the effect), where the first is understood to be partly responsible for the second.

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.

Once we have met this challenge we have the key to finding ways to sustainably manage our lives, our systems, our science, our education, our laws, our healthcare and our cities in a world that is becoming more complex and interconnected than ever before. It is also key to finding new breakthroughs in the sciences that seek to understand “the human” and its relations.

The sixth Para Limes complexity conference is about “Causality – Reality”. The annual complexity conference has become widely recognized as unique in South-East Asia. In these conferences some of the best scientists and thinkers in the area of complexity share their views with you. The twelve speakers in this conference are uniquely qualified to address the issue of Causality – Reality. To hear them share their insights and partake in their discussions will be a great experience for all participants to the conference.

The setting of the conference is informal. After each talk there will be ample time for the audience and the speakers to discuss and meet. We warmly invite you to actively take part in it.
