}Complex systems research is becoming ever more important in both the natural and social sciences. It is commonly implied that there is such a thing as a complex system, different examples of which are studied across many disciplines. However, there is no concise definition of a complex system, let alone a definition on which all scientists agree. We review various attempts to characterize a complex system, and consider a core set of features that are widely associated with complex systems in…

This paper explores some of the factors that make complex systems complex. We first examine the history of complex systems. It was Aristotle’s insight that how elements are joined together helps…
A Brief Synthesis on Complex Systems

This literary survey presents the development and glossary of essential concepts steering complex systems as well as some general properties, tools and definitions pertaining to complex systems.
The why, how, and when of representations for complex systems
- Computer ScienceSIAM Rev.

This work uses basic, domain-agnostic language to evaluate each step of the complex systems analysis pipeline, beginning with the system and data collected, then moving through different mathematical formalisms for encoding the observed data, and relevant computational methods for each formalism.
Complex systems: physics beyond physics

Complex systems are characterised by specific time-dependent interactions among their many constituents. As a consequence they often manifest rich, non-trivial and unexpected behaviour. Examples…
Phase transitions in complex systems : An information geometric approach
- Computer Science
- 2017
This thesis explores the possibility that critical phenomena in complex systems can be studied using a framework called Information Geometry, borrowed from geometrical statistical mechanics.
Measuring complexity in organisms and organizations
- Computer ScienceRoyal Society Open Science
- 2021
New metrics that purport to quantify the complexity of living organisms and social organizations based on their levels of uncertainty are introduced, and it is expected that these new complexity indices will encourage research programmes aiming to compare the complexity levels of systems belonging to different realms.
Volume II: The Simplicity of Complexity

Whereas most of the cosmos is comprised of rather simple large-scale structures, on Earth, we find breathtaking complexity, down to microscopic scales. Indeed, it appears as though the universe is…
Multidisciplinary Research as a Complex System
- Computer ScienceInternational Journal of Qualitative Methods
- 2021
This article makes several propositions that diverge from the consensus position regarding the formation and dynamics of a multidisciplinary system, including that an emergent intelligence, at the level of the system, expresses itself in the unconcealment of the ‘form’ of the metaproblem.
Individuation and Adaptation in Complex Systems.
- Computer Science
- 2020
This study extends the system metamodel with the concept of adaption in order to integrate adaptive computation in the so-called allagmatic method, which allows to better understand the emergence of typical characteristics of complex systems.

The world has grown more complex recently, and the number of ways of measuring complexity has grown even faster. This multiplication of measures has been taken by some to indicate confusion in the…
Complex adaptive systems

The authors are entering a new era in their ability to understand and foster systems of crucial interest to humankind that have so far defied accurate simulation by computer, and scientists have begun to extract a common kernel from these systems.
Effective Complexity
- Computer Science
- 1995
The effective complexity (EC) of an entity is defined as the length of a highly compressed description of its regularities, and a formal approach is needed both to the notion of minimum description length and to the distinction between regularities and those features that are treated as random or incidental.

It is proposed that areas of mathematics, even ones based on simple axiomatic foundations, have discernible layers, entirely unexpected “macroscopic” outcomes, and both mathematical and physical ramifications profoundly beyond their historical beginnings.

We consider the question of whether thermodynamic macrostates are objective consequences of dynamics, or subjective reflections of our ignorance of a physical system. We argue that they are both;…
