I review the purported opposition between computational and dynamical approaches in cognitive science. I argue that both computation and dynamical notions will be necessary for a full explanatory account of cognition, and give a perspective on how recent research in complex systems can lead to a...

In this paper we introduce a new approach to optimization problems based on a previous theoretical work on extinction patterns in macroevolution. We name them Macroevolutionary Algorithms (MA). Unlike population-level evolution, which is employed in standard genetic algorithms, evolution at the...
