This adventurous proposal aims to complete an innovative and ambitious inter-disciplinary research programme to explore a series of important, novel and timely themes within the area of complex adaptive systems, such as immune systems, economies, genetic systems, distribution networks and so on. These systems present unique challenges to those who would model and understand them, being formed by many simple interacting parts that give rise, however, to emergent, complex, collective phenomena. What is required to understand such systems is a methodology that allows one to systematically study and understand potentially complex, emergent macroscopic phenomena in terms of the underlying microscopic degrees of freedom. We believe that such a methodology is what in physics is know as coarse graining, such as that achieved via the renormalisation group. In previous work we have started applying this methodology to particular classes of complex adaptive systems: genetic algorithms and genetic programming. In this project we want to complete this work but also to extend the coarse graining methodology to the problems of understanding financial markets and artificial swarming systems.
