Foundations of Complexity Science
In a new book, James Ladyman and I have developed a conceptual framework for the phenomenon of complexity which covers all the well-known phenomena that are associated with complexity. We have distilled a list of features that are exhibited by complex systems; some features are exhibited by all complex systems, some only by functional or living complex systems. In a nutshell, ‘emergent’ properties such as self-organisation, nonlinearity, and adaptive behaviour, arise because of the many disordered interactions between the many parts and the feedback from previous interactions in systems that are open to the environment in some way.
