Tipping Point Examples
- Examples of tipping points range from waking up to economic collapses.
- They also include ecosystem shifts, like a clear lake suddenly turning murky.
Defining 'State'
- "State" in complex systems refers to a stable, recurring mode of operation, not a static condition.
- A system's dynamics remain similar within a state, like a consistently growing stock market.
Ice Cube Analogy
- An ice cube gradually melts as temperature increases linearly, changing states once above zero.
- This illustrates how seemingly stable systems can abruptly change due to non-linearity.
