For as long as the world has had physicists inquiring into the laws of nature, it has suffered a special ignorance about disorder in the atmosphere, in the fluctuations of the wildlife populations, in the oscillations of the heart and the brain. The irregular side of nature, the discontinuous and erratic side these have been puzzles to science, or worse, monstrosities."

Complex system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Contents Overview Features of complex systems Relationships are non-linear Relationships contain feedback loops ... edit Overview The term complex system formally refers to a system of many parts which are coupled in a nonlinear fashion. In this repsect, complex systems are more than the sum of their parts because a linear system is subject to the principle of superposition, and hence is literally the sum of its parts, while a nonlinear system is not. Put another way: a linear relationship is simply one whose whose graph is a straight line, so a linear connection between two things is one in which change on one side of the connection induces proportional change in the other. A nonlinear connection means that change on one side is not proportional to change on the other. When there are many non-linearities in a system (many components), behaviour can be as unpredictable as it is interesting. Complex systems research studies such behaviour. Most biological systems are complex systems in the sense outlined above, while most engineered systems are not. Complex systems research overlaps substantially with nonlinear dynamics research, but complex systems specifically consist of a

COMPLEX SYSTEMS Drawing by Rachel Grobstein "It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing. People were talking about the end of physics. Relativity and quantum mechanics looked as if they were going to clean out the whole problem between them. A theory of everything. But they only explained the very big and the very small. The universe, the elementary particles. The ordinary-sized stuff which is our lives, the things people write poetry about - clouds - daffodils - waterfalls - ... these things are full of mystery, as mysterious to us as the heavens were to the Greeks. Because the problem turns out to be different. ... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard For two thousand years people have believed that the sun and all the stars of heaven rotate around mankind. Pope, cardinals, princes, professors, captains, merchants, fishwives and schoolkids thought they were sitting motionless inside this crystal sphere. But now we are breaking out of it, Andrea, at full speed. ... The old idea was always that the stars were fixed to a crystal vault to stop them falling down. Today we have found the courage to let them soar through space without support ... And the earth is rolling cheerfully around the sun, and the fishwives, merchants, princes, and cardinals, and even the Pope are rolling with it ... The universe has lost its centre overnight, and woken up to find it has countless centres. So that each one can now be seen as the centre, or none at all.

INSIGHTS FROM COMPLEX SYSTEMS Scientists and non-scientists alike are in the business of trying to make sense of the world. And in so doing, both scientists and non-scientists make use of conceptual frameworks, habitual ways of thinking which influence both how one tries to make sense of new observations and the new questions one asks (and doesn't ask). These conceptual frameworks are themselves a product of trying to make sense of the world, and hence themselves reflect the kinds of observations that have been made and can be made. Computers, like telescopes and microscopes, have opened a whole new world of possible observations. Because of the rapidity with which they can do well-defined calculations, computers have made it possible to explore the consequences of relatively simple interactions of relatively simple things in a way never before possible. And, in a variety of different disciplines, it is similarly emerging that this new capability for observations makes possible significant insights into phenomena long believed to be too complex for serious analysis. Perhaps even more importantly, there is emerging a new and quite general conceptual framework, one equally useable in a variety of different sciences ... and by non-scientists as well. The following is an effort to begin characterizing that framework, in a form which can be used by everyone interested in trying to make sense of the world.
