FINAL DRAFT CASE Afternoon Primer SessionTopics of Discussion July 22, 2013
FINAL DRAFT Topics for Primer Discussion: Attributes of Complexity Subset* • Interactions: Multiplicity of interactions and feedback – relationships between one part of the system and some other entity, along which information or influence may flow • Evolving or self-organizing interfaces – Change during the course of operation and evolve • Openness – Boundary interactions with the environment • Emergence: System behaviors or qualities not directly traceable to the system's components, but rather to how those components interact • Only exists at the system level and is not exhibited within isolation at the subsystem levels. • Scaling doesn’t work emergent behavior changes the system * This is NOT a comprehensive list of the attributes of complexity; these are isolated topics for CASE Primer discussion.
