Earth’s Complexity Is Non-Computable: The Limits of Scaling Laws, Nonlinearity and Chaos
Current physics commonly qualifies the Earth system as ‘complex’ because it includes numerous different processes operating over a large range of spatial scales, often modelled as exhibiting non-linear chaotic response dynamics and power scaling laws. This characterization is based on the fundamenta...
