It seems like the interaction between the basic building blocks that make us individuals is what creates the complex system. I have not read much about computational models for social life, however, my understanding of complexity is that it is inherently not completely predictable, hence it is complex.

What I find interesting is the notion of self-organization.
Why are we interested in knowing what will happen? Is it our desire to be able to shape a “perfect” system? I think the answer to a “perfect” system lies at Self-organization. We have to rethink our idea of command and control and the systemic outcomes of that control. In self-organization you purposefully step back and let history or the system take it’s own course. Dave Guerra is writing stuff about complexity in organizations, also very thought provoking.

Stephen Hawking says complexity is the science of the 21st century.
My intuition says that many questions will be answered through it.
