Global Governance Global governance or world governance is a social movement toward political integration of transnational actors aimed at solving problems that affect more than one state or region when there is no power of enforcing compliance. The modern question of world governance exists in the context of globalization. In response to the acceleration of interdependence on a worldwide scale, both between human societies and between humankind and the biosphere, the term "world governance" may also be used to designate laws, rules, or regulations intended for a global scale. Definition[edit] In a simple and broad-based definition of world governance, the term is used to designate all regulations intended for organization and centralization of human societies on a global scale.[1] Traditionally, government has been associated with "governing," or with political authority, institutions, and, ultimately, control.

Chaos Theory and Complexity Theory A double rod pendulum animation showing chaotic behavior. Starting the pendulum from a slightly different initial condition would result in a completely different trajectory. The double rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems that has chaotic solutions. Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as weather and climate.[6][7] This behavior can be studied through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps. Introduction[edit] Chaos theory concerns deterministic systems whose behavior can in principle be predicted. Chaotic dynamics[edit] The map defined by x → 4 x (1 – x) and y → x + y mod 1 displays sensitivity to initial conditions. In common usage, "chaos" means "a state of disorder".[9] However, in chaos theory, the term is defined more precisely. where , and , is: .
The Architecture of Open Source Applications The Bahá’í Faith - United States Short, Self Contained, Correct Example Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example If you are having a problem with some code and seeking help, preparing a Short, Self Contained, Correct Example (SSCCE) is very useful. But what is an SSCCE? It is all in the name, really. Short (Small) - Minimise bandwidth for your example, do not bore the audience.Self Contained - Ensure everything is included, ready to go.Correct - Copy, paste, (compile,) see is the aim.Example - Displays the problem you are trying to solve. Short This depends on the group or forum. Tricks for Trimming If your GUI has 40 buttons not related to the problem, remove them. The array or table that is causing a problem may have a hundred entries, but again, if the problem can be seen with two or three entries, trim your example to that alone. If your problem is a GUI layout problem, trim all the processes (JavaScript/Java methods etc.) from behind it. Problem Solved? Self Contained You are much more likely to receive help if you do this.
