controversial, arises if we imagine that the universe is itself a computer and that what it's doing is performing a computation. If this is the case, these numbers say how big that computation is — how many ops have been performed on how many bits within the horizon since the universe began. That, of course, is more controversial, and since publishing this paper I've received what is charitably described as "hate mail" from famous scientists.” https://www.edge.org/conversation/seth_lloyd-the-computational-universe Seth Lloyd, MIT Physics Interview on Edge.org

every piece of infrastructure in the UK economy — and many beyond our borders. It is called English law. English law is an asset of enormous value. It underpins the UK’s place at the heart of a number of global markets, among them those for derivatives, commodities, energy and trade finance. English law is selected because it is trusted to deal with complex outcomes in a fair manner; this trust is taken for granted.”
increasing proportion of transactions and contracts are now internationally mobile—i.e. their governing law and the jurisdiction to which they are subject are chosen by those transacting based on their attractiveness to those parties. Historically, English law has been a popular choice of governing law for many types of internationally mobile transactions. In 2019, it governed around £250bn of global mergers and acquisitions, and 40% of global corporate arbitrations. The most successful platforms of the 21st century have been digital platforms, and their value is directly related to the size of their user base. However, English law suffers from a market failure known as the free-rider problem where no entity acts as the ‘platform operator’ to grow the user base of English law and maximise the benefits. Such a ‘platform operator’ should invest in growing the user base and consider how to monetise the value of the platform. This can be delivered through a combination of technological, judicial, professional and industry expertise, alongside government involvement.”

II2,3 Complexity science has spread from its origins in the physical sciences into biological and social sciences (1). In- creasingly, the social sciences frame policy problems from the financial system to the food system as complex adaptive systems (CAS) and urge policy- makers to design legal solutions with CAS properties in mind. What is often poorly recognized in these initiatives is that legal systems are also complex adaptive systems (2). Just as it seems unwise to pursue regulatory measures while ignoring known CAS properties of the systems targeted for regulation, so too might failure to appreciate CAS qualities of legal systems yield policies founded upon unrealistic as- sumptions. Despite a long empirical studies tradition in law, there has been little use of complexity science. With few robust empirical studies of legal systems as CAS, researchers are left to gesture at seemingly evident assertions, with limited scientific sup- port. We outline a research agenda to help fill this knowledge gap and ad- vance practical applications. Legal systems exhibit what com- plexity scientists identify as hallmark elements of CAS (1). The diverse in- stitutions (e.g., legislatures, agencies, and courts); norms (e.g., due process, equality, and fairness); actors (e.g., legislators, bureaucrats, and judges); and instruments (e.g., regulations, injunctions, and taxes) are intercon- nected through stochastic processes (e.g., trials, negotiations, and rule- makings) with feedback mechanisms (e.g., appeals to higher courts and ju- dicial review of legislation). These are all em- bedded in hierarchical and nonhierarchical network architectures (e.g., cross-references (e.g., emergence of common-law doctrines or codified statutory law). Agents typically exercise bounded rationality, have only par- tial information, and are able to exercise only varying degrees of control on overall system behavior (2). Efforts to integrate CAS approaches to regulated systems may flounder if complex adaptive characteristics of the legal system it- self are not taken into account. For example, although natural-resources policy theorists have advocated for a new field of adaptive management based on an understanding and judicial systems (4). CAS approaches can allow modeling of interconnections in this system of systems that can be difficult to capture in simple models (1). Minor changes in network structure may lead to cascade ef- fects throughout the systems. By leveraging traditional methods, it is difficult to isolate instability and systemic risk in other social systems from instability and systemic risk in the legal system. Regulatory system failure was a factor in the 2008 financial crisis (5) and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (6). THEORY, ANALYSIS, APPLICATION Application of informatics and big-data– styled research to law offers many potential benefits for conventional empirical legal studies. The CAS framework is neither an extension of nor a replacement for that ap- proach but a different way of envisioning systems in which agent strategies and sys- SCIENCE AND LAW Harnessing legal complexity Bring tools of complexity science to bear on improving law U.S. Supreme Court term Percentage of cases contained within giant component Giant component (%) 60 1805 1810 1810 1815 1820 1820 1825 1830 1830 1835 50 40 30 20 10 0 United States Supreme Court citation network (1805–1835) Cases are represented as nodes, citations between cases as edges.
