A System is a whole, consisting of parts, each of which can affect its behaviour or its properties.

System:

A System is a whole, consisting of parts, each of which can affect its properties or its behaviour. Each of those parts is dependent on other parts to affect those properties or behaviours.

System:

A context in which cause and effect can only be perceived in retrospect, not in advance.

Complexity:

A System that is unpredictable, at least in practice, because of the type of interactions between parts or the sheer number of them.

Complex System:

A Complex System that is extremely adaptable to changes in its environment

Complex Adaptive System:

1) Autonomous Agents

2) Peer to Peer interaction

3) Simple Rules

Opposite of fragile. Something that benefits from shocks such as volatility, randomness, disorder and stressors. Beyond robust and resilient.

Antifragile
