Concepts

Complex Adaptive Systems - Systems composed of many interacting agents that adapt their behavior based on experience, resulting in emergent collective behavior and evolution over time.
Complexity Theory - The interdisciplinary study of complex systems, examining how relationships between components give rise to collective behaviors and emergent properties.
Emergence - The phenomenon where complex systems exhibit properties and behaviors that their individual components do not possess on their own.
Holism - The principle that systems should be understood as integrated wholes rather than just collections of parts, as the whole exhibits properties not present in components.
Self-Organization - The process where order and structure spontaneously emerge from local interactions between components without central control or external direction.
