Complex Adaptive Systems

Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) are systems made up of many interacting parts that adapt and change over time. Examples include ecosystems, economies, and social networks. In CAS, individual components (like people or species) follow simple rules but collectively produce unpredictable and dynamic behaviors. These systems learn from experiences and evolve, making them resilient yet sensitive to changes. Understanding CAS helps us appreciate how different elements work together and respond to challenges, highlighting the interconnectedness and complexity of life.
