Diversity and Complexity

Diversity and Complexity by Scott E. Page (Primers in Complex Systems, 2011 Princeton University Press).

This book rocks. “… continued survival can only benefit from a more nuanced understanding of diversity in complex systems, and that requires naming the parts and learning how those parts combine. It means that we must go beyond stories and analogies. We have to test intuitions and metaphors against logic and empirical reality. If we are to take intelligent action, we need to define our terms precisely - what is diversity? and what is robustness?”
