    An introduction to complex systems. Faster and ultimately more satisfying than enduring Michael Crichton's Lectures in "Jurassic Park" and"The Lost World". Or shouldn't I admit to that?

    A good introduction to complex systems and how changes within them occur, on a reasonably simple, layman's level.

    Way, way over my head but still as good an introduction to complex-systems theory as any I've ever read. Props for being comprehensive and fun to read, two thumbs up!

    From the page: "I. Introduction: 1. Complex Systems Theory : Basic Definition II. Four Important Characteristics of Complexity: 1. Self-Organization 2. Non-Linearity 3. Order/Chaos Dynamic 4. Emergent Properties III. Computer Programming approaches used for demonstrating, simulating, and analyzing these characteristics of Complex Systems: 1. Artificial Life 2. Genetic Algorithms 3. Neural Networks 4. Cellular Automata 5. Boolean Networks" It seems a quite good website, but to be able to say it for sure one should read everything :)

    From the page: "A Complex System is any system which involves a number of elements, arranged in structure(s) which can exist on many scales. These go through processes of change that are not describable by a single rule nor are reducible to only one level of explanation, these levels often include features whose emergence cannot be predicted from their current specifications. Complex Systems Theory also includes the study of the interactions of the many parts of the system. Previously, when studying a subject, researchers tended to use a reductionist approach which attempted to summarize the dynamics, processes, and change that occurred in terms of lowest common denominators and the simplest, yet most widely provable and applicable elegant explanations. But since the advent of powerful computers which can handle huge amounts of data, researchers can now study the complexity of factors involved in a subject and see what insights that complexity yields without simplification or reduction.

    I don't know. This entire site seems to be so complex!

    How long will it be before we create our evolutionary cyber replacements? Perhaps it can't happen soon enough.
