Memoryless Systems Generate the Class of all Discrete Systems by Erwan Beurier, Dominique Pastor, David I. Spivak

“…The complexity is in the network, i.e., the connection patterns between simple machines. The main result of this paper is to show that the range of simplicity for parts as compared to the complexity for wholes is in some sense complete: the most complex automaton can be obtained by wiring together direct-output memoryless components. …”

Sustainable tourists, generous consumers, lifestyle inspirers: the attitudes and expectations of Zadar’s local authorities vis-à-vis digital nomads by Aris Dougas Chavarria

“…Among other relevant contributions, this paper suggests that digital nomads might rather be thought of as “short-term locals” instead of “long-term tourists” regarding their consumption patterns; argues that tourism stakeholders conceive digital nomads as off-season tourist boosters but not a main tourist target group; and hints at the fact that digital nomad knowledge transfer is unlikely to occur without the needed platforms. …”
