Complex Systems — Operational Approaches in Neurobiology, Physics, and Computers Proceedings of the International Symposium on Synergetics at Schloß Elmau, Bavaria, May 6–11, 1985

A great deal of the success of science has rested on its specific methods. One of which has been to start with the study of simple phenomena such as that of falling bodies, or to decompose systems into parts with well-defined properties simpler than those of the total system. In our time there is a...
