摘要
This comment on the essay ???The Empirical Investigation of Non-Linear Dynamics in the Social World. Ontology, Methodology and Data???, by Graham Room, focuses on the challenge of understanding institutional change in complex social systems. It discusses the evolutionary foundations of Room???s ???Contingent Historical Model??? by questioning the bio-social divide on selection mechanisms. It concentrates on Room???s concept of temporalities of institutional change and discusses the role of noise.
