Patterns And Connectivity
"The ways in which the agents in a system connect and relate to one another are critical to the survival of the system, because it is from these connections that the patterns are formed and the feedback disseminated. The relationships between the agents are generally more important than the agents themselves." -- trojanmice.com
The importance of connectivity within and between patterns in nature has been emphasized in the section that describes connectivity of patterns in nature. Here we discuss the connectivity of patterns in nature in more detail.
First, we offer background on systems concepts including feedback, emergent behavior, complexity, and chaos.
We then move on to the relatively new field of networks. We first review the ideas of form, function, and context. Then we describe network architecture and network dynamics.
