Complex System Quotes

We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness, which then produces mathematics, which can then encode in a succinct and inspiring way the very underlying laws of physics that gave rise to it Picture Quote #1

I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form? Picture Quote #1

We have also obtained a glimpse of another crucial idea about languages and program design. This is the approach of statified design, the notion that a complex system should be structured as a sequence of levels that are described using a sequence of languages. Each level is constructed by combining parts that are regarded as primitive at that level, and the parts constructed at each level are used as primitives at the next level. The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail Picture Quote #1

You show me a successful complex system, and I will show you a system that has evolved through trial and error Picture Quote #1

You can never do merely one thing. The law applies to any action that changes something in a complex system. The point is that an action taken to alleviate a problem will trigger several effects, some of which may offset or even negate the one intended Picture Quote #1

The human body is the most complex system ever created. The more we learn about it, the more appreciation we have about what a rich system it is Picture Quote #1

Most economists, like doctors, are reluctant to make predictions, and those who make them are seldom accurate. The economy, like the human body, is a highly complex system whose workings are not thoroughly understood Picture Quote #1

Organisms are not billiard balls, propelled by simple and measurable external forces to predictable new positions on life’s pool table. Sufficiently complex systems have greater richness. Organisms have a history that constrains their future in myriad, subtle ways Picture Quote #1

Even though these complex systems differ in detail, the question of coherence under change is the central enigma for each Picture Quote #1

Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole Picture Quote #1

In journalism, especially, we tend to deal with large, complex systems by finding especially interesting people and story lines to focus on Picture Quote #1

Computer science doesn’t know how to build complex systems that work reliably. This has been a well-understood problem since the very beginning of programmable computers Picture Quote #1
