Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 19, Problem 19.3E
Explanation of Solution
Emergent properties of a complex system:
It is impossible to infer the emergent properties of complex systems from the components of the system components because:
- A system is a collection of the constituting subsystems an also covers the emergent properties of the connections and integrations of the subsystems.
- In a complex system, the complexities mostly emerge from critical relationships among the components of the system
