Complex Systems
Complex systems are systems where the collective behavior of their parts entails emergence of properties that can hardly, if not at all, be inferred from properties of the parts.

Complex Systems
When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.

The solution is to understand the total system, to design it in a way that allows all the pieces fit nicely together, so that initial learning as well as usage are both optimal. Years ago, Larry Tesler, then... See more

The Theory of Constraints is a good example of how we are surrounded by complicated systems where the optimal strategy, by definition, is always a simple one: in this case, attack the biggest constraint.

"An investment philosophy on ‘complexity investing’ from NZS Capital"
Investment philosophy on "complexity investing" from NZS Capital, emphasizing the need to embrace extreme events, balance resilience and optionality, and focus on quality, growth, and understanding change in portfolio construction.
static1.squarespace.comNZS Capital poses that the economy and the stock market are best studied as complex adaptive systems akin to biology. They emphasize investing in companies that are adaptable, long-term focused, innovative, possess long-duration growth, and maximize non-zero-sum outcomes. The approach involves fewer, larger positions in companies highly adaptive to disruption, high levels of quality, growth, and context, and smaller positions in companies with a wide range of potential outcomes.
