Digital-fit Quote by Pearl Zhu

In complex systems, one can think about linear interactions and complex or nonlinear interactions.

— Zeynep Tufekci

“Because of their composite nature, complex systems can exhibit catastrophic behavior.”

— Per Bak

“no complex, nonlinear system can be adequately described by dividing it up into subsystems or into various aspects, defined beforehand.”

— David Christian

The very nature of interactions is bound to make it unpredictable.

— Carl von Clausewitz

“profoundly complex systems”

— William Brinkley

I have said many times before, interactivity is the equivalent of radioactivity. For interactivity effects a kind of disintegration, a kind of rupture.

— Paul Virilio

I'm interested in complexity, in the mathematical sense, as well as the idiomatic sense. The idea of emergence - that it's possible for complex…

— Hari Kunzru

Complex systems are hard to understand, predict and control.

— Dominic Cummings

nonlinear interactions almost always make the behavior of the aggregate more complicated than would be predicted by summing or averaging.

— John Henry Holland

“The term we use for the unanticipated result from these interactions is emergence. While not all interactions create emergent effects, when emergence does occur…

— Rich Jolly

By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of…

— Michael Behe

Deep in the chaotic regime, slight changes in structure almost always cause vast changes in behavior. Complex controllable behavior seems precluded.

— Stuart Kauffman
