-This paper is Jim's rough answer to his own question; we should consider it our ur-text for this project. It is non-technical reading (something like a long op-ed) but sketches out basic definitions of fragility, complexity, and the sorts of problems he sees as needing answers.

Complex Systems Summer School 2011

This is the page for formulating an answer to the Challenge Question on Complexity.

Refining the question: what are we trying to answer? Time based? Scale? Dynamics?

Conceptualization: what are the concepts to lock in for testing?

Models available for modification:

  • NetLogo diffusion models
  • Netlogo network models
  • Bhavnani Findley Kuklinski (rumors on ethnic conflict)
