== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Complex System''' β A system composed of many components which may interact with each other. * '''Emergence''' β When a complex system exhibits properties that its individual parts do not have (e.g., wetness is not a property of one water molecule). * '''Feedback Loop''' β A process in which the outputs of a system are circled back and used as inputs (Positive or Negative). * '''Self-Organization''' β The process where a global order arises out of local interactions between parts, without a central controller. * '''Non-linearity''' β When a small change in input leads to a massive, disproportionate change in output (or vice versa). * '''Resilience''' β The ability of a system to absorb a shock and still maintain its basic function and structure. * '''Adaptation''' β The ability of a system to change its behavior in response to changes in its environment. * '''Bifurcation''' β A "splitting point" where a system suddenly changes from one state to another (a 'Tipping Point'). * '''Homeostasis''' β A state of dynamic balance where a system maintains a stable internal condition. * '''Holism''' β The idea that systems should be viewed as wholes, not just as a collection of parts. * '''Entropy''' β A measure of disorder or randomness in a system. * '''Interdependence''' β When the state of one part of a system depends on the state of another. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
