WICI TALKS presents:A reading and conversation with author Madhur Anand, "To Place a Rabbit"
WICI Reading and Conversation with Madhur Anand
Join the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation for a reading and conversation with Madhur Anand, professor and author of the newly released "To Place a Rabbit".
To prepare for the conversation, you may want to consider these thoughts from Dr. Anand:
A tipping point is a point when a threshold is crossed and leads to a sudden and often irreversible change, even when there are no obvious links to changes in the environment. There are three kinds:
- bifurcation tipping - deterministic and caused by nonlinear feedback loops
- noise-induced tipping - caused by random fluctuations
- rate-induced' tipping- caused by a fast rate of change in a parameter of the environment
The protagonist in my novel is someone who wants to find the tipping point between fact/reality and fiction because she is a scientist and doesn't know how to make things up but wants to write a novel.
