Exploring the relationship between order and chaos
Exploring the relationship between order and chaos
The Oxford Quarterly Journal of Symmetry & Asymmetry (OXQ) serves as a multidisciplinary hub for exploring the concept of dynamic symmetry. As an open-access platform, we offer a diverse range of content including academic articles, streaming video presentations, podcasts, and seminars. We advance both theoretical and applied research by fostering collaboration among researchers from various disciplines, encouraging the development of integrated approaches and the exchange of innovative ideas.
OXQ caters to a broad audience, from academics to the intellectually curious public, presenting complex ideas in an accessible manner without compromising academic rigour. The website's structure facilitates a fluid progression through various aspects of dynamic symmetry across disciplines, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject in about an hour. Nevertheless, even a brief exploration of OXQ should prove engaging and informative.
We continuously update our collection of videos, podcasts, and papers to reflect the latest developments in this rapidly-evolving field. The seamless connection between pages ensures a cohesive exploration of the topic, guiding visitors through the interconnected aspects of dynamic symmetry.
Under the guidance of Denis Noble (Balliol College), Iain McGilchrist (All Souls), and Benedict Rattigan (Schweitzer Institute), OXQ strives to bridge disciplinary boundaries and promote innovative approaches to complex systems analysis.
