Diverse Systems in Complexity Science
Complexity science applies to a wide range of systems, from tipping points to ecologies, economies, and even the spread of COVID in the lungs. Positive feedback is crucial for both ant colonies' robustness and increasing returns in the economy. Studying one system helps understand others. In this episode, Aretha Pelleg discusses how bees self-organize to exhibit sophisticated behavior, such as determining the location of their colony. This exemplifies the key concept of self-organization in complexity science, where systems like economies and ecologies defy rational explanations.
