Week 4 Readings

COMPLEX SYSTEMS-

I like how They used the economy as an example for nested complex systems.  Economy> Organizations> People> Cells.  It was a good example of complex systems inside of complex systems.

Made of closely connected Parts;
I also got that complexity is a matter of opinion and differs points of view.  The cracked mud for example.  Far away it seems simple and not complex, but upon closer inspection, you see the cracks in the mud and the patterns and it gets more complex the closer you get.  Not just the patten but what it is made of.

Self-Organization:
"
  1. Strong dynamical non-linearity, often though not necessarily involving positive and negative feedback
  2. Balance of exploitation and exploration
  3. Multiple interactions"
NEW ONTOLOGIES

"And a general point I want to make here is that we have been dazzled by Mondrian. Instead of seeing dualist detachment and domination as a move, a tactic, a ploy, a very specific way of living, in the flow of becoming, we tend to mistake it for the world itself."
