Also I didn’t know that field existed. Very interesting. One could imagine using visualization and generative testing for software systems to be a subject where this model could be applied.
I got three slides in and the "Swooshing!" was driving me nuts. I'm sure the content is fine, and the presentation is simply gorgeous . For me ... unusable. Edit: In the end, at the end, I found the PDF. It seems a little light on content, but I guess I'm not the audience. Not sure who the audience would be, though.
Instead read John Holland’s “Complexity: A Very Short Introduction”
To dig deeper (and something that will apply directly to many here) I loved “Scale: The Universal Laws of Life, Growth, and Death in Organisms, Cities, and Companies” by Geoffrey West

This is hard to use on wide screens right now - it's kind of like watching a tennis match
So what are some real-world benefits of complexity theory?
How does complexity theory benefit real people? Unlike theories of physics or economics, it doesn't appear to describe how anything actually works , rather that things are just more complex than they seem. For instance, complexity theory just points out that the double pendulum is hard to predict without adding value, while controls theory was more useful by stabilizing the double pendulum. So what are some real-worl…
