Rock cavy The rock cavies belong to the subfamily Caviinae along with the guinea pig, desert cavy, and cuis. Rock cavies are found in dry, rocky areas with low, scrubby vegetation, and they like to reside close to stony mountains and hills. In appearance and habits they closely resemble the unrelated rock hyrax of Africa (an example of convergent evolution). They usually shelter in crevices. They are reportedly seen at day and night, but are most active at dawn or dusk. Animals most active at this time are known as crepuscular. Studies show that there is a direct link between the retina
A New Kind of Science of traffic, material fracture, crystal growth, biological growth, and various sociological, geological, and ecological phenomena. Another feature of simple programs is that, according to the book, making them more complicated seems to have little effect on their overall complexity. "A New Kind of Science" argues that this is evidence that simple programs are enough to capture the essence of almost any complex system. In order to study simple rules and their often complex behaviour, Wolfram argues that it is necessary to systematically explore all of these computational systems and document what they do. He further argues that this study should
