In mathematics, a complex system is a model with with emergent properties.
Description
A complex system is a system that exhibits some (and possibly all) of the following characteristics:
- Feedback loops
- Some degree of spontaneous order
- Robustness of the order
- Emergent organization
- Numerosity
- Hierarchical organization
A complex system can be also viewed as a system composed on many components which may interact with each other.
Networks
In many cases it is useful to represent such a system as a network where the nodes represent the components and the links their interactions.
Examples
Examples of complex systems are Earth's global climate, the human brain, social organization, an ecosystem, a living cell, and ultimately the entire universe.
