1. Multi-Agent Complex Systems - wide range of ideas, techniques and applications in - Health (disease spread), - Biology (immune system) - Culture (economic value of cultural environment), - - - Governance … Desert Reclaim, Economic Sustainability, Financial Stability Real Estate Policy, Immigration effects, Social Policy… - cannot be even enumerated in a short talk. This talk limited to: specific examples of theoretical scientific concepts (even rigorous theorems) leading to concrete applications of interest to policy makers (most of the present audience)

2. Theoretical abstract: - the emergence of resilient collective objects with adaptive behavior that have fractal / scaling / singular geometry and lead to intermittent (Levy) fluctuations of the global system Multi-Agent Logistic systems display - the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal localized phases that break spontaneously the translational space time symmetry and This is proven both numerically and theoretically

3. Application abstract: The Multi-Agent Complex Systems approach identifies -singular local elements of growth (even at early stages where, as whole, the system seems in regress). - spatio-temporal patterns of resources and - socio-economic / human interactive causal mechanisms leading to growth (e.g. education / cultural level / tradition). In the concrete case of post-liberalization Poland. - identifies emergence of resilient, sustainable, developing patterns likely to support sustainable global growth - prediction of (space-time) singular fluctuation patterns that may lead to widening social inequality and economic instability (but also to novelty emergence). The classical paradigms fail in predicting emergence of novelty / development. - Propose extension of study to other regions (Piemonte…)

4. Solution:  < 0 “almost all the social phenomena … obey the logistic growth” Elliot W Montroll I would urge… logistic equation early in the education … in the everyday world of politics and economics Lord Robert May Size - Nonlinear Terms (Competion/Saturation)  Growth ~  Size Logistic Equation (Mathus-Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra-Eigen-Schuster

5. Multi-Agent Complex Systems Paradigm: In reality, in Growth ~  Size,  is the result of many spatio-temporal distributed discrete individual contributions rather then totally uniform and static

6. Instead: emergence of singular spatio-temporal localized collective islands with adaptive self-serving behavior => resilience and sustainability even for << 0 ! Multi-Agent Complex Systems (MACS) Implications: one can prove rigorously that the DE prediction (uniform spatial and temporal decay): Logistic Differential Equation  < 0 Is ALWAYS wrong !

9. ECONOMIC Clustering Development after economic liberalization of Poland: year 2 1989199019911992 Yr2:Globally, the situation seems getting worse and worse Most regions are devastated But MACS sees already nuclei of growth

Dell Buffet 20 ALLEN GATES WALMART No one however, has yet exhibited a stable social order, ancient or modern, which has not followed the Pareto pattern… Davis; Cowles Commission for Research in Economics Pareto’s curve … great generalizations of human knowledge. Snyder 1939 real world is controlled by the ‘tails’ of distributions… by the exceptional, not the mean; by the catastrophe, not the steady by the very rich, not the ‘middle class’.

Logistic systems=> Pareto Laws Theorem : Multi-Agent Complex The 100 year old Pareto puzzle is solved by combining the 100 year old logistic Lotka-Volterra equation with the 100 year old Boltzmann Statistical Mechanics Experimental Confirmation Nr of Species vs individuals size Nr of Species vs number of specimens Nr of Species vs their life time Nr of Languages vs number of speakers Nr of countries vs population / size Nr of towns vs. population Nr of product types vs. number of units sold Nr of treatments vs number of patients treated Nr of patients vs cost of treatment Nr of moon craters vs their size Nr of earthquakes vs their strenth Nr of meteorites vs their size Nr of voids in universe vs their size Nr of galaxies vs their size Nr of rives vs the size of their basin

21. Conclusions The organic connection between a few classical complexity features Pareto-Zipf scaling laws / Levy-stable fat-tail fluctuations, Fractal-Intermittent singular spatio-temporal Growth patterns, Logistic Malthus-Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra-Eigen-Schuster system Percolation, phase transitions, Emergence of adaptive objects is explained within a comprehensive coherent framework. Its applications in monitoring and inducing stable growth and sustainable development is demonstrated.
