Ontonix Develops Rotation-Invariant Image Complexity Analysis
The analysis of image complexity has been around for over a decade, and numerous examples are available in the present blog. An image is an N x M matrix of pixels and is easy to analyze with, for example, OntoNet, the QCM engine from Ontonix. The first step is to transform an image to greyscale and then to determine the intensity of each pixel on scale ranging, for example, from 0 to 255. There…

What is Critical Complexity?
Complexity is defined formally via the following equation: C=f(S; E) where S stands for structure, E is entropy and f is a matrix operator. C is a scalar while S and E are both matrices. The equation shows how complexity captures the intensity of structure-entropy and entropy-structure transformations that accompany physical processes and, in particular, the corresponding information flow.…

How Much AI Can a Car Handle?
Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it has to be done. This is true especially when speaking of technology. The fact that something is technically feasible doesn’t mean that implementing it is necessarily a good idea. Remember when you could wave your hand to control the volume of a car radio? And today, what about the huge three feet long dashboard display screens? Are they really…

Computer-Aided Engineering, AI and the Bad News
Models are only models. Remember how many assumptions one must make to write a partial differential equation (PDE) describing the vibrations of a simple beam? The beam is long and slender, the constraints are perfect, the displacements are small, shear effects are neglected, rotational inertia is neglected, the material is homogenous, the material is elastic, sections remain plane, loads are…

Complexity, Murphy's Laws and Artificial Intuition in Product Development
The origin of the well known Murphy’s Laws may be traced to Edwards Air Force Base in 1949. A few of the most popular of these laws are listed below: If anything can go wrong, it will If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and…

What's Next for Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (intelligence, really?) has been around for a few decades now. Recently, AI has become immensely popular, especially for its generative ability in using existing examples (information) to write songs, poetry, to chat, morph faces, or to create fake press releases, or get a lawyer in trouble in a court room. All this raises plenty of ethical issues. Any system that looks…

Complexity
At Ontonix we have developed a comprehensive complexity metric and established a conceptual platform for practical and effective complexity management. The metric takes into account all the ingredients necessary for a sound and comprehensive complexity measure, namely structure, entropy and data granularity, or coarse-graining. The metric allows one to relate complexity to fragility and can show…

Computer-Aided Design and which Design is Best.
As products become more complex they become more fragile. It is necessary to focus on product robustness by making products less complex. This may be accomplished by using OntoNet™, our QCM Engine. OntoNet™ allows users to: Measure the robustness of a design/component Measure the complexity of a design/component Identify the drivers of design robustness and complexity Perform…

AAA Ratings Hide Fragility
The Probability of Default (PoD) of a company is the central concept behind a conventional rating. Ratings constitute a fundamental link between the markets and investors. Their importance cannot be overstated. However, traditional ratings, according to the Credit Rating Agencies themselves, are merely opinions. The process of computation of a Probability of Default of a company is not only…

Measuring the Impact of EU's Response to Covid-19 and Ukraine Conflict
There are numerous means of assessing the impact of Europe’s uncoordinated response to two recent and major events that are impacting the economy as well as reshaping the geopolitical arena: covid-19 and to the Special Operation under way in parts of Ukraine. From a purely economic perspective it is relatively easy. As far as covid-19 is concerned, one may look at things like drop in GDP,…

On Data Quality and Data-driven Business Models.
Nowadays, many companies rely on a data-driven business model. This means they collect, store, process and analyse data in order to extract insights, knowledge and to make extrapolations, spot tendencies, make plans and build strategies. This not only helps understand their own products as well their customers, it is indispensable. The value of data cannot be overstated. Ontonix analyses data…

Complexity Science is Dead.
The so-called Complexity Science has been around for a few decades now. Chaos, as well as complexity, were buzzwords in the 1980s, pretty much like Artificial Intelligence is today. There are Complexity Institutes in many countries. They speak of Complexity Theory. In a beautiful and recent video called “The End of Science”, Sabine Hossenfelder, speaks of Complexity Science and how it has not…

Battle Damage Assessment based on Satellite Images
Assessing the amount of damage onboard of a military vehicle has been shown using the QCM in one of our blogs. This short article shows how a similar approach can be applied to areas affected by military operations, not just equipment. We consider an area, shown below, that has been subjected to air strikes and analyze the complexity of satellite images of the same area before and after the said…

Complexity and Artificial Intuition in Military Technology
“Activities that come under the umbrella of C4ISR are essentially efforts to use analysis of many inter acting streams of data to understand and exercise a degree of control over complex situations – which requires some comprehension of complexity itself. In the military realm, it is becoming clear that those who understand and can exploit complexity are likely to prevail over those who can not,…
