A peer to peer learning study group that meets weekly to explore Complex Systems Modeling w/ Tokens.
This study group is a peer to peer learning study group, that meets weekly to explore Complex Systems Modeling with Tokens. We use the free CC0 book Intro to Complex Systems to ground our exploration of topics.
The prereqs are none just an open mind and a willingness to learn. Some python is super useful, we'll go over a few tips 'n' tricks in the beginning. The math will be fairly light, but can scale with knowledge level.
- Where: Discord Voice Channel
- When: Tuesdays 5pm-6pm UTC
- Starts: August 9th 2022
This project aims to help increase the knowledge of modeling complex systems that involve tokens. The goal is to learn and share what we've learned via contributions to wikis, toolsets, and code. Capturing our learning journey can be super valuable, the study group is to be collaborative.
We target going from limited python to building a cadcad model for a staking system at the end of 8 weeks, while following the back drop of Intro to Complex Systems.
The study group format is that of two week sprints. We choose this format to allow us to timebox and be a little bit focused in scope.
The 1st week of the sprint consists of a reading discussion, a group exercise, and going through the Q&A that might have arisen throughout the week.
The 2nd week of the sprint consists of an expert session about a similar topic discussed in the prior week and Q&A with the expert, and finally a feedback/group check in.
The sprints will be listed here
To facilitate everyone's busy schedule and the adhoc nature of exploring. We introduce a Q&A sheet for every sprint , where people can anonymously post their questions. During the week the community will try and answer the questions that come up. They can be topic related or tangentially like I'm having an issue getting pyplot to show dimensions.
We'll be using https://cryptpad.fr for our questions. live example . The Q&A format
Contributions to this repo are always welcome. We want to make an effort to improve the ecosystem, so the second sprint, we'll spend some time doing housekeeping and make some contribs to this repo. Contributions don't need to be code, they can be definitions, filling out the wiki, asking questions, or providing feedback.
PRs
We use conventional commits
Issues
Issues are just as valuable as code contributions, so see something just create an issue and we'll try and patch it up, even if it's non code related.
Code
For code contributions, typically make a fork of this repo, then make a PR from that fork. If you get stuck just pop into the discord and we'll get it sorted!
Non Code Contributions
Create an issue for the thing that you'd like to add or change, and we'll discuss take it up!
Every two weeks we'll be putting out a feedback survey about how the sprint went, the plan tenatively is to use https://pol.is and share these results. The goal is to figure out what's working or not and adjust. Let's be flexible and fluid as it's a peer 2 peer learning let's get the most out of it!

- knowledge_base is our tbd repository for collecting definitions and building out a wiki that's generally useful for other users
- pm is our project management folder that will consists of sprints/ qa for that sprint, and any files needed/ worked on during that spring
- sprints is the collection of our sprints
- sprints_xx is the individual sprint data
- templates are the individual that wqas easy gettting started templates for projects/exercises
- python is a simple example template that allows you to do simulations with just globals and plain old python
- cadcad is a simple example template that allows you to spin up cadcad with as little overhead as possible
