Complex Systems

Systems characterized by multiple interacting components whose behavior cannot be easily predicted due to the interactions at different scales and feedback loops.

Adaptability

The capability to adjust to new conditions or changes in the environment or circumstances efficiently.

Nonlinear Systems

Systems in which the output is not directly proportional to the input, often characterized by complex, unpredictable behavior.

Wildly Different Results

Refers to outcomes that significantly diverge from what was expected or from each other in a particular context.
