The following quotations (apart from the last one) come from a special issue of Science on 'Complex Systems' featuring many key figures in the field (Science 2 April 1999) [:] 8. 'In recent years the scientific community has coined the rubric 'complex system' to describe phenomena, structure, aggregates, organisms, or problems that share some common theme: (i) They are inherently complicated or intricate ...; (ii) they are rarely completely deterministic; (iii) mathematical models of the system are usually complex and involve non-linear, ill-posed, or chaotic behavior; (iv) the systems are predisposed to unexpected outcomes (so-called emergent behaviour).'

The following quotations (apart from the last one) come from a special issue of Science on 'Complex Systems' featuring many key figures in the field (Science 2 April 1999) [...] [:] 3. 'In a general sense, the adjective 'complex' describes a system or component that by design or function or both is difficult to understand and verify. ...complexity is determined by such factors as the number of components and the intricacy of the interfaces between them, the number and intricacy of conditional branches, the degree of nesting, and the types of data structures.'(50, p. 92)

'Complexity theory indicates that large populations of units can self-organize into aggregations that generate pattern, store information, and engage in collective decision-making.' (39, p. 99)
