Exploring the Origins of Complexity Science through Interwoven Stories

Complexity Science has roots in various interconnected stories, starting with Conway's Game of Life, an early computer program exemplifying Complexity theory. The journey includes Norbert Weiner's research in developing feedback mechanisms for anti-aircraft control systems, John Von Newman's exploration into mathematical modeling for predicting natural phenomena and simulating self-replicating robots, and Edward Lorenz's work on weather patterns. These interconnected narratives highlight the evolution of Complexity Science from simple conditions to complex outcomes, exemplifying the intricate web of influences that have shaped this field.
