Vasileios Basios

These cells are dormant in the caterpillar, but at a critical point of development, they create the new form and structure, which becomes the butterfly.

[outro music] My guest today is my very old friend, uh, Dr. Vasileios Basios, who's a senior researcher in the physics of complex systems at the University of Brussels with over 25 years of experience in research and coaching.

His interdisciplinary work focuses on self-organization, emergence in complex matter, complementarity, and the foundations of complex systems.

He was mentored by Nobel laureates Ilya Prigogine and Gregor Nicolis, and he received his PhD from the University of Brussels after studying cybernetics with John S. Nicholas.
