FREEDOM FROM CONSTRAINTS. "Another explanation is that complex life cycles persist due to developmental constraints acting on particular phases; in particular, larvae may represent the conservation of traits of early development while adult traits evolve more freely in response to selection." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn

DECOUPLING OF PROCESSES. "One explanation for the abundance and long-term persistence of complex life cycles is that they represent adaptive mechanisms for decoupling the developmental processes that underlie morphological traits of alternative phases, thereby allowing phases to respond independently to different selective forces." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn

AGENT SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS. "Natural self-organising systems function without central control and operate based on contextual local interactions. The particularity of self-organised systems is their capacity to spontaneously (without external control) produce a new organisation in case of environmental changes." https://lnkd.in/dfAjwzM View in LinkedIn

THE EDGE OF CHAOS. "Emergence occurs in a narrow possibility space lying between conditions that are too ordered and too disordered. This boundary or margin is the edge of chaos, which is always far from equilibrium. Near these equilibriums, a system has the ability to self-organise allowing an emergent phenomenon." https://lnkd.in/dfAjwzM View in LinkedIn

"NATURAL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS are adaptive, scalable and fault-tolerant. Emergence science describes how higher-level self-regulatory behaviour arises in natural systems from many participants following simple rule-sets. Emergence advocates simple communication models, autonomy and independence, enhancing robustness and self-stabilization." http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1301356&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1301356 View in LinkedIn

AGENT SOCIAL NETWORKS. "Many complex systems have despite their names quite simple microscopic components. The complexity arises from local interactions." https://lnkd.in/dFZ84SM View in LinkedIn
