Basics of complex adaptive systems (CAS)
Complex adaptive system:
- consists of inhomogeneous, interacting adaptive agents.
- adaptive means capable of learning
- an emergent property of a CAS is a property of the system as a whole which does not exist at the individaul level of agents
- must be studied holistically
Why study CAS?
CAS have intrinsice unpredictability which casuses "seemingly wise" decisions to have harmful side effects.
