Terms

A host of terms are used to discuss complexity: many of which overlap and differ only in subtle ways.

The words used to describe the behaviors of Complex systems are often technical or ambiguous. Further, depending upon the research field, different terms may be used to refer to the same phenomena. This site endeavors to disambiguate terminology associated with CAS, as well as highlight parallel terms used to refer to the same concept across discourses.

Dive into the terminology!

Agents within a Complex system can help one another achieve more 'fit' behaviors by providing signals of past success: this 'marking' of past work is known as 'Stigmergy'.
