complexness
Complexness refers to the quality or state of being intricate, multifaceted, or difficult to understand. It is a pervasive concept found in various fields, including science, engineering, philosophy, and everyday life. A complex system is typically characterized by a large number of interacting components, nonlinear relationships between these components, and emergent properties that are not readily apparent from the individual parts.
The study of complexness, often termed complexity science, seeks to understand the behavior of these systems.
Distinguishing between complexity and mere complication is important. Complicated systems may have many parts, but their
