| Abstract: | The origins of coherence in complex systems are examined, and it is shown that mechanical equations of "motion" are only temporary representations of the structure and organization present in the system at a given time. The precise trajectories of different factors, particularly in market economies, will be chaotic, or certainly sensitive and unpredictable. However, the main point is that evolution and change in the structure of the system are the most important feature. |
