About the Santa Fe Institute
The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) is a private, independent, multidisciplinary
research and education center, founded in 1984. Since its founding, SFI has
devoted itself to creating a new kind of scientific research community, pursuing
emerging science. Operating as a small, visiting institution, SFI seeks to
catalyze new collaborative, multidisciplinary projects that break down the
barriers between the traditional disciplines, to spread its ideas
and methodologies to other individuals, and to encourage the practical
applications of its results.
All titles from the Santa Fe Institute Studies
in the Sciences of Complexity series
carry this imprint which is based on a
Mimbres pottery design (circa A.D.
950-1150), drawn by Betsy Jones.
The design was selected because the
radiating feathers are evocative of
the outreach of the Santa Fe Institute
Program to many disciplines and institutions.
