This is because these decisions often trigger cascades of systemic consequences
in complex dynamic systems such as those constituting global distributed ledgers with their consensus engines.
A well - recognized property
of complex dynamic systems is the «butterfly effect,» which proposes a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan could cause a tornado in Texas.
Murray Gell - Mann, the physicist who discovered quarks while working at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, extensively
discusses complex dynamic systems in his excellent book: The Quark and the Jaguar.
Working with colleagues at the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at the University of California, San Diego, he wants to unravel what it is that makes bacteria so adept at survival by looking at pattern formation in
complex dynamic systems alongside the molecular biology and biophysics of bacteria.
Perhaps the most well -
known complex dynamic system is the weather and, similar to weather forecasting, researchers in the Integrated Mathematical Oncology Department at the Moffitt Cancer Center are using mathematical methods to account for many variables in the search for new ways to understand and control cancer.
That's a very big difference, because, for example, one of the great breakthroughs in digital art is the great practice of Ian Cheng that, all of the sudden, video no longer has to be a loop but now can be an algorithm,
a complex dynamic system that can evolve and change.
Major Depression as
a Complex Dynamic System.
