Talk page for the Complexity Project

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)

Crutchfield, Jim (2009). "The Hidden Fragility of Complex Systems: Consequences of Change, Changes of Consequences". http://www.santafe.edu/media/workingpapers/09-12-045.pdf -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. It also has some references we may want to explore further.
