Complex Systems Science

Complex Systems Science studies how large groups of interconnected components—like animals in an ecosystem or cells in a body—interact to produce behaviors and patterns that aren't predictable by examining parts alone. It explores how collective dynamics, feedback loops, and adaptability lead to emergent properties such as self-organization and resilience. This field helps us understand phenomena across disciplines, including biology, economics, and social systems, by focusing on the relationships and interactions that give rise to complex, often unpredictable, but organized behavior at the macro level.
