'''Key Terms from the Complexity and Modeling Program:'''

-Complex<br>
vs.<br>
-Complicated<br>


Complex: individual behaviors and local interactions, goal-specific emergent structure, scale-dependent predictability and unpredictability, high level of throughput. <br>

Complicated: is deliberate, has specific goal driven behavior, predictable behavior at all scales, system throughout manages within specifications. <br>


Complexity: <br>

-'''L'''eaderless: individual behaviors and local interactions not directed by central organization or control.<br>
-'''E'''mergent: unexpected structure that comes from a system that does not have a direct connection to the system. <br>
-'''N'''onlinear: inputs and outputs are related but not in a linear fashion. Highly sensitive initial and ambient conditions. <br>
-'''S'''elf-organizing: organization comes from within the system and is nonhierarchical<br>
