Presentation Description

Complexity is a natural property of every system. Just like for example energy, complexity is a fundamental and intrinsic property of all systems. Humans instinctively try to stay away from highly complex scenarios because of one fundamental reason – high complexity implies a capacity to deliver surprising behavior.

What is Complexity: 

What is Complexity This short presentations offers a simple illustration of what ONTONIX means by complexity. Our definition of complexity is intuitive and reflects how the wide public perceives it. Complexity is a function of: Multiple information sources, Which are linked (inter-dependent), And which are often uncertain. With an increasing number of links and in the presence of high uncertainty, it is impossible to comprehend a system and to manage it. This corresponds to critical complexity .
