Mechanisms in Dynamically Complex Systems

摘要: In recent debates mechanisms are often discussed in the context of ‘complex systems’ which understood as having a complicated compositional structure. I want to draw attention another, radically different kind complex system, fact one that many scientists regard only genuine system. Instead being compositionally these systems rather exhibit highly non-trivial dynamical patterns on basis structurally simple arrangements large numbers non-linearly interacting constituents. The characteristic what call “dynamically systems” arise from interaction system’s parts largely irrespective properties parts. Dynamically can surprising statistical characteristics, robustness calls for an explanation terms underlying generating mechanisms. However, argue, dynamically not sufficiently covered by available conceptions will explore how notion mechanism has be modified accommodate this case. Moreover, show under conditions widespread, if inflationary talk about (dynamically) stretches beyond its reasonable limits and is no longer legitimate.
