“It becomes complex if things do interact, particularly in the case of “nonlinear” interaction.”

— Pearl Zhu

Complex systems are hard to understand, predict and control.

— Dominic Cummings

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

— David Christian

The only way to know how a complex system will behave-after you modify it-is to modify it and see how it behaves.

— George E. P. Box

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

— Per Bak

What is important is that complex systems, richly cross-connected internally, have complex behaviours, and that these behaviours can be goal-seeking in complex patterns.

— William Ross Ashby

“profoundly complex systems”

— William Brinkley

Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of…

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

— John Henry Holland

You've never heard of Chaos theory? Non-linear equations? Strange attractors? Ms. Sattler, I refuse to believe you're not familiar with the concept of attraction.

— Michael Crichton

Complex things, if you don't understand them, it seems complicated. If you understand them, and we know how to handle it, it became simple.

— Erno Rubik

A complex is a cluster of energy in the unconscious, charged by historic events, reinforced through repitition, embodying a fragment of our personality, and…
