Abstract

The complexity of the world is contrasted with the simplicity of the basic laws of physics. In recent years, considerable study has been devoted to systems that exhibit complex outcomes. This experience has not given us any new laws of physics, but has instead given us a set of lessons about appropriate ways of approaching complex systems.

摘要

世界的复杂性与物理学基本定律的简单性形成鲜明对比。近年来，人们对呈现复杂结果的系统进行了大量研究。这种经历并没有给我们带来任何新的物理定律，反而给我们带来了一系列关于处理复杂系统的恰当方法的经验教训。
