"Why #brains? Brains are very costly...it seems like they are not a very good idea to bring complex cognition to a #biosphere that just needs simple replicators."

Two different views of #evolution:
- Stephen Jay Gould and an emphasis on #contingency
- Simon Conway Morris/Pere Albach and an emphasis on #constraints and #convergence
--> "Replay the tape with different results vs. 'the logic of monsters' & 'life's solution'"

Once you represent a musical composition as a network, it is possible to examine the evolutionary dynamics of its harmonic content over time, as explained by @mbnUNT in his opening talk for this week's SFI #musicology working group.
