INSERT NEW CHIP PLEASE. “As twentieth century biologists realized with increasing frustration, reductionism cannot explain the self-renewing processes of life. And equally important, reductionism cannot predict what Nature’s living systems will do.” https://lnkd.in/g-_U4c9 View in LinkedIn

LIFE AS SYSTEMS. “We will never understand life until we deal with life as a collection of systems. While we may not realize it, we encounter and connect with systems every moment of our lives. Our bodies are interconnected, self-maintaining systems. Every person we meet, every organization we work with, every animal, every tree, and every ecosystem is a system.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

DEEP INTERDEPENDENCE. “Simply stated, a system is a collection of objects that somehow interrelate with each other to function as a whole and produce some effect that no single object within the system could do on its own. The configuration of a system’s parts can be physical, logical or statistical.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC LINKED SHELLS. “Nature is composed of an almost infinite number of hierarchal, interconnecting ecosystems.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

“ENERGY is the operating currency of Nature. Ecosystems are the conduits  by which Nature’s energy is transported and transformed. Ecosystems are vehicles for energy flow and energy consumption. They cycle energy and nutrients obtained from external sources.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

SWARM COMPLEXITY. “A complex system has a large number of members capable of interacting with each other and adapting to their environment without a leader or a blueprint.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BIOLOGY. “The interaction between members may occur with immediate neighbors or distant ones. The members can be all identical or different. They may move in space or occupy fixed positions. They can be in one of two states or have multiple states.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

COMMONALITY. “Different complex systems in Nature, such as bird flocks, immune systems, brains, and human social systems have much in common. These commonalities include complex collective behavior, the ability to pass information and energy, feedback, and hierarchal structures.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn

SWARM BEHAVIOR. “We can easily view complex collective behavior in bird flocks, animal herds, and fish schools where each individual creature follows relatively simple rules with no central control or leader. It is the collective actions of vast numbers of these individuals that give rise to the complex, hard-to-predict and changing patterns of group behavior.” https://lnkd.in/gA5rxGc View in LinkedIn
