CHAPTER

The Reductionist Method to Explain a Complex System

The stochasticity in the system is really the essence. And even when you come from physics, where you initially learn about new tournament mechanics and things are all deterministic Stochasticity comes a lot later if at all. So, explain that, because I think that's terribly important. How can we use the reductionist method to explain a complex system? Well, we do it. All the examples we've seen say the historical example of the Medici, we unpick them by looking at what makes up that social system back in those stage which people are involved. The same is true for scaling laws, so we see them in the statistic, and we want to understand how
