Thermodynamics of complexity and pattern manipulation by Vedral, Vlatko, Gu, Mile, Garner, Andrew J. P., Thompson, Jayne

“…Here, we propose a framework to describe pattern manipulators—devices that convert thermodynamic work to patterns or vice versa—and use them to build a “pattern engine” that facilitates a thermodynamic cycle of pattern creation and consumption. We show that the least heat dissipation is achieved by the provably simplest devices, the ones that exhibit desired operational behavior while maintaining the least internal memory. …”

Prehistoric foragers and farmers in South-east Asia: Renewed investigations at Niah Cave, Sarawak by Barker, G, Barton, H, Beavitt, P, Bird, M, Daly, P, Doherty, C, Gilbertson, D, Hunt, C, Krigbaum, J, Lewis, H, Manser, J, McClaren, S, Paz, V, Piper, P, Pyatt, B, Rabett, R, Reynolds, T, Rose, J, Rushworth, G, Stephens, M

“…The critical importance of the Niah stratigraphies was commonly identified – including by Tom Harrisson himself – as because the site provided a continuous sequence of occupation over the past 40,000 years. The present project indicates that Niah was first used at least 45,000 years ago, and probably earlier; that the subsequent Pleistocene and Holocene occupations were highly variable in intensity and character; and that in some periods, perhaps of significant duration, the caves may have been more or less abandoned. …”
