unusual facts about complex systems



Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems

The Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) (in Spanish "Instituto de Biocomputación y Física de Sistemas Complejos") is a research centre of the University of Zaragoza whose main objective is to apply computation to the physics of complex systems and biological models.

Reductionism

The idea that phenomena such as emergence and work within the field of complex systems theory pose limits to reductionism has been advocated by Stuart Kauffman.

Simplexity

Jack Cohen (scientist) and Ian Stewart authors of the book The Collapse of Chaos (1995), a non-fiction book that attempts to explain chaos theory and complex systems to the general public.
