QUESTION:

Problem 22CQ

Must a complex system be adaptive to be of interest in the field of complexity? Give an example to support your answer.

ANSWER:

Solution 22CQ

Step 1 of 2

A complex system need not be adaptive always. However, complex systems which can adapt and evolve are of particular interest in complexity. Complexity as a discipline explores on how complex systems adapt and evolve and they look for similarities with other complex systems. They are interesting because the system’s individual and collective behavior mutate and self-organize.
