Theory 57/Complexity requires central control

Decentralised Systems Adapt Faster

The claim

Decentralised systems adapt faster to heterogeneous conditions because local information is used locally.

01Mechanism

Central processing loses the detail that local decisions require.

02Prediction

Adaptation speed should rise with decentralisation.

03Refutation

Central systems adapting faster would remove the information argument.
