wish to begin from the ground up with charts and graphs

No, I used your references. So numbers are linear thinking?
Math is linear thinking? Then why does Kauffman use math?
Why do the links you post use math?

Emergent system properties ....cannot....be predicted or understood
from a simple examination of the components, regardless of the
level of detail.

No one asked for the components. I'm asking for the math
of the /system/. Not the math of the components.
What's Kcrit? Kcrit is for the system.

K finds /itself/ given enough time and 'fluid' connectivity.

Okay, so show us there was enough time on Mars with enough
fluid connectivity.


Life finds a way! This ...is...a mathematical certainty.

You really have no understanding of complexity science, do
you? Do you even know what nonlinear means?

Criticality is the final probable state. And randomness is the
force for that mathematical limit. The universe makes sense.
Life is the simplest explanation and the norm. What is
most probable and normal should not need proof, it
should be a given. It should be on you to prove geology
can explain the observations, so far Nasa has failed
to explain fully a ....single...feature there with geology alone.
They can't seem to quite figure out the clumpy soil, can't
quite figure out the ripples, can't quite figure out the
rocks or the spheres. And they never will so long as they
refuse to believe in anything they can't .....Stick with a Fork.

You keep posting this, but guess what? That link has
math in it. Math that you have no clue how to apply to
Meridiani.
