Hi Joe,
If a () system of ()
systems exists then a (very (simple)) system
is still a system of (very (very (simple)))
system.
It's amaizing to
know a very simple system which
demonstrates very complex behavior. This is a fantastic gift. We do
not deserv it - but we have it! :)
We could think that the
natural numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7.. so on) is
simple. Are we sure?
Let's choose a natural
number n1 (free, spontaneously, without any
reasons - just any of natural
numbers) and then let's choose again any natural number
n2 (free, spontaneously, without any
reasons - just any of natural numbers).
The more freedom of
choice we have - the more chances that
n2>n1
Absolute freedom of
choice makes n2>n1 guaranteed
The reason of this is
that there is no a biggest natural number
(that is also an amazing fact, by the way)
We (people) are finite
(in space and time) pretty simple entities.
How can we understand infinity?
The answer is - because
ae are able to play with a freedom of choice
- thanks for the great gift - the natural
numbers :)
The logistic equations
and cellular automata are magic wands
whaich transform complex system of systems
in a simple set 1,2,3 and so on :)

The logistic equation is a math model of the
behavior of a living system.
A very simple system can demonstrate very
complex behavior.
In my view this is another example of
general systems theory (GST) where a
specific branch of science was generalized
into mathematics and applied in many places.
However, this is behavior of a simple
system, not a system of systems or an
industrial system.
Have fun,
Joe

Hi Jack,
I think the metod is to follow the
cascade of bifurcation which has the
universal mesure (a sort of the delta
number which can be got from
experiment/experience)
The magics here is our ability to
distinguish the related and unrelated
events - where the bifurcated branchs
(splitted paths) belongs one tree
(one way)
Sorry if it is too vague methafora - I
do some urgent job right now
