Other concepts

There are several other concepts/subjects in complexity science that were not shown here, but are essential for a good understanding of complex systems and their behavior. Some of these concepts are:

We’re not looking down levels to explain the level of interest. And that’s one of it’s defining features that will come back to at some point when we talk about emergence.

(AP) Popper’s hypothetico-deductive method

Here \(\text{P}_1\), is the problem from which we start, \(\text{TT}\) (the ‘tentative theory’) is the imaginative conjectural solution which we first reach, for example our first tentative interpretation. \(\text{EE}\) (‘error- elimination’) consists of a severe critical examination of our conjecture, our tentative interpretation: it consists, for example, of the critical use of documentary evidence and, if we have at this early stage more than one conjecture at our disposal, it will also consist of a critical discussion and comparative evaluation of the competing conjectures. \(\text{P}_2\) is the problem situation as it emerges from our first critical attempt to solve our problems. It leads up to our second attempt (and so on).

Notre activité intellectuelle est suffisamment excitée par le pur espoir de découvrir les lois des phénomènes, par le simple désir de confirmer ou d’infirmer une théorie. […] la philosophie positive est le véritable état définitif de l’intelligence humaine […] (Comte, 1892, pp. 9–10).

Why post-positivist?

(AP) Popper against positivism (or the problem of induction)

But I shall certainly admit a system as empirical or scientific only if it is capable of being tested by experience. These considerations suggest that not the verifiability but the falsifiability of a system is to be taken as a criterion of demarcation. In other words: I shall not require of a scientific system that it shall be capable of being singled out, once and for all, in a positive sense; but I shall require that its logical form shall be such that it can be singled out, by means of empirical tests, in a negative sense: it must be possible for an empirical scientific system to be refuted by experience.
