The Role of Low Level Randomness in System Organization

Low level randomness in a system is crucial to prevent total disorder but ensure adaptability and creativity. Too much randomness leads to chaos and anarchy, while too little restricts the system from responding to changes. This controlled randomness allows for the creativity and adaptability of complex living systems, leading to the emergence of organization and resilience in the face of changing environments. This concept establishes that the universe is not an infinite array of possibilities but a constrained array, known as adjacent possibles, as described by complexity theorist Stuart Kaufman.
