Emergent Phenomena and Complexity
Vice Darley
–
ABSTRACT: Iseek to define
rigorously the concept of an emergent phenomenon in a complex system, together
with its implications for explanation, understanding and prediction in such
systems. I argue that in a certain fundamental sense, emergent systems are
those in which even perfect knowledge and understanding may give us no
predictive information. In them the optimal means of prediction is simulation.
I investigate the consequences of this for certain decidability and complexity
issues, and then explain why these limitations do not preclude all means of
doing interesting science in such systems. I touch upon some recent
incorporation of this work into the investigation of self-organised
criticalities.

It is argued that complexity has only a limited use as
a paradigm against reductionist approaches and that
it has a much richer potential as a comparable property.
What can complexity be usefully said to be a property
of is discussed. It is argued that it is unlikely to have any useful value as
applied to ?real? object or systems. Further that even relativising
it to an observer has problems. It is proposed that complexity can be only
usefully applied to constructions within a given language. It is argued that
complexity is usefully differentiated from the concepts of size, ignorance,
variety, minimum description length and order. A definition of complexity is
proposed which can be summarised as follows: ?That
property of a language expression which makes it difficult to formulate its
overall behaviour even when given almost complete
information about its atomic components and their inter-relations.?. Some of
the consequences of this definition are discussed. It is shown that this
definition encompasses several existing varieties of complexity measures and is
then applied to some examples pertaining to the evolution of ?complex' systems
including: "What is the complexity that has evolved in organisms and has
it increased?".

Grupo de Auto-Organização - CLE - UNICAMP
O Grupo "Auto-Organização", de Docentes e
Pesquisadores do Centro de Lógica, Epistemologia e História da Ciência da
Unicamp (Grupo Interdisciplinar CLE), tem por
objetivo realizar estudos sobre o conceito de auto-organização e as
possibilidades de sua aplicação em algumas áreas específicas do conhecimento,
buscando a identificação de fenômenos caracterizados como auto-organizados. Os
trabalhos do Grupo são desenvolvidos através de pesquisa bibliográfica,
realização de seminários periódicos regulares, manutenção de intercâmbio
acadêmico com grupos afins, organização de eventos e produção de publicações
sobre o tema. Mais especificamente, sempre considerando um contexto multi e interdisciplinar

Complexity Theory and Management
Practice (by Jonathan Rosenhead)
There is a growing popular literature on chaos and
complexity (eg Stewart 1989; Kauffman 1993) authored
by scientists of high reputation writing about research fields in which they
are themselves active. There is also a burgeoning literature (eg Wheatley 1992; Stacey 1992, 1996; McMaster 1995, Merry
1995) which draws on this work to address management concerns and practices,
but whose authors are experienced in management and management education rather
than in the substantive scientific fields whose findings they report and
interpret. I shall refer to this arena as ‘management complexity’.
