This Lecture will provide an introduction to the notion of complexity. The following complex system properties will be discussed shortly and elaborated on in further lectures:

  • Randomness versus order
  • Emergence
  • Chaos
  • Observer Dependence
  • Path Dependence
  • Adaptiveness
  • Non Linearity
  • Robustness
  • Instability
  • Diversity
  • Self Similarity
  • Context dependency
