Simply Complex Lab is a young research group with a long-horizon vision, organised around three core Research Directions (RDs), each anchored by a long-term (>10 years), high-risk, high-gain Moonshot Project (MP). All SCL projects are designed to interlock algorithmically with all MPs that are themselves intertwined and collectively build a coherent whole:
- Atlas of Change (MP 1) maps how systems evolve, providing the “navigation system” to steer transient dynamics far from thermodynamic equilibrium.
- Atom Printer (MP 2) provides the “hardware” tools for constructing structures by navigating non-equilibrium pathways within the mapped space.
- Rules of Life (MP 3) serves as the “operating system”, enabling the software, coordination, and dynamics that bring those structures to life.
By integrating navigation, hardware, and operating systems, SCL aims to uncover a deeper understanding of reality, from the behaviour of single atoms to the emergence of living complexity.
