Complexity

Definition

Complexity is a measure of the contents of Information, the level of organization of the Action, of a Structure, of a Form.

Complexity represents the extension of the causal process that has produced the Form in question, in other words, the quantity and level of organization of the events that produced the above mentioned Structure or Form.

It is the result of the incessant evolution of Information. Evolution of Events, Processes, Structures of Information and Forms.

In other words, complexity represents the product of the Process of Formation of Reality, the emergent organization, produced by the incessant evolution, fed by the Force (Force Relation - Operator REL), which operates to all levels of the Reality.

In a statistical sense, it represents a measure of the degree of organization of a system or of the Universe as a whole. In the continuous scale that goes from the absolute chaos to the absolute order, evolutionary processes build increasing levels of organization, which correspond to peaks of complexity that we observe in Reality.

It's in the dynamic equilibrium, or, better said, in the imbalance in continuous tension towards an unattainable equilibrium, that the interaction between anabolic processes (constructive - Operator Organization) and catabolic processes (destructive - Operator Transformation produces the Forms of the Reality. Enthalpy and entropy. The state functions of systems evolve towards locally and / or globally more complex (less probable) states, in an incessant dance on trajectories that now turn towards chaos (e.g. second law of thermodynamics) now towards order (systemic principle of emergent order).

Description

Da questa definizione discende che l’entità più complessa esistente è l’Universo stesso. Inoltre, se consideriamo per ipotesi l’Uomo come la forma più complessa esistente e il pianeta Terra come l’unico corpo celeste popolato dall’Uomo, la Terra dovrebbe essere considerata più complessa di tutto il resto dell’Universo. La definizione di complessità incorpora, quindi, insieme aspetti quantitativi e qualitativi.

Tutto ciò che esiste è Informazione che organizza il Campo spazio-tempo, relazione tra eventi elementari. Con riferimento al Campo spazio-tempo, al livello più elementare dell’esistenza, la complessità rappresenta il livello di interconnessione della rete delle relazioni organizzate tra i microstati associati ai punti dello spazio-tempo. E, a partire da questo livello elementare, troviamo via via una successione continua di livelli di esistenza, legati da una rete di relazioni che costruisce una infinita gerarchia di complessità emergente in incessante evoluzione.
