3. 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:

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

9. 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:

12. A Complex System that is extremely
adaptable to changes in its environment
Complex Adaptive System:

15. 1) Autonomous Agents

16. 2) Peer to Peer interaction

17. 3) Simple Rules

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