• 10 Properties of Chaotic Systems One Should Know

  Instead of complaining that people don’t have the proper takeaways form chaos science, why not create my own little series on fractal and chaotic phenomena. Often, the descriptions that are available online are very mathematical, and it is not immediately obvious why the information should be relevant to you. That is particularly true, if you have no clue about the subject yet. I’ll try to go with a minimum of mathematics in the beginning, and try to explain it step by step.

• Die Nichtphänomenologie der Quantenmechanik

  Jemand erklärt mir, Quantenmechanik ist der Beweis dafür: alles ist Bewusstsein, und ich spontanentlade im Google+-Feed von Jutta Ahrens.

• The Art of Balls: Collected Texts from the Old Webpage

  Due to popular demand I’ve compiled all tetxts of the old TheArtOfBalls.com website into one single document and added it to the Art of Balls section on gwenstoll.com.

  Unfortunately, I never got around to translate the last two sections into English. So you’ll have to live with a mix that starts English, and suddenly turns German for the last third :-)

  Due to heavy time constraints, I decided to publish it on the site as is, instead of never getting around to doing so.

  Enjoy!

• Four Definitions of Agile

  Agile is not agile. People often cannot agree on meeting culture. Different ways of thinking sometimes are not so subject specific. Rather, complete mindscapes can be defined that shape indivual thinking. At least Maruyama (1980) gave us a model to think along these lines. What does “agile” mean for all four proposed thinking types? Read here …
