Abstract

The organization of high dimensional random `rugged' landscapes

 has some universal features, some of them quite anti-intuitive to humans used to think in low

dimensions. The dynamics within such landscapes is also quite anti-intuitive, for the same reasons.

I will describe how one may learn from analytic solutions of simplified models, and some

conjectures that one would like to prove
