| '''Complex Systems''' is an interdisciplinary field studying how relationships between parts give rise to collective behaviors that the parts alone do not exhibit. A complex system is characterized by [[Emergence|emergence]] — system-level properties that arise from interactions among components but cannot be predicted or explained by examining the components in isolation.

| Examples include ant colonies, the human brain, social networks, and climate systems. In each case, the behavior of the whole transcends the behavior of the parts.

| | |
| Complex systems are typically studied through computational modeling, network analysis, and agent-based simulation rather than traditional reductionist methods. The field draws on physics, biology, computer science, and sociology. | |
| | |
| Key concepts include emergence, self-organization, [[Feedback Loops|feedback loops]], phase transitions, and adaptation.
