Thanks for posting baradhiren07, Brian Hayes is a great find as so many theoretical ecologists are so model-oriented their works and thoughts are not applicable in forest, field or meadow.

"A model is the Marie Kondo version of nature—relentlessly decluttered and tidied up. Sometime important parts get tossed out ... Would we learn more if all those aspects of life in the woods had a place in the equations or the algorithms?"

I often design very large planting schemes and there are some genuinely useful approaches to randomness explored here.

And he's written 'Foolproof, and Other Mathematical Meditations' which I'll be tracking down asap.

I didn't know Brian Hayes has a book too. Thank you for sharing that.
