The present paper aims at providing a simple and transparent analytical model that illustrates how different policy measures address different parts of an interlinked system, which determines the composition of the future car fleet.
Since the design and operation of such systems are very complicated for many reasons (e.g. the intermittent nature of the renewable sources, the highly interlinked system layouts), it is of the foremost importance to provide tools to help select the best system configuration and energy sources mix.
It is even more rare to be in the position to watch how these concepts and ideas, related customs, designs and decorations change together through consecutive periods and cultures as part of an interlinked system, creating very diverse phenomena but always preserving something, thus maintaining a continuity of the whole.
Great landscape pictures, from Fan Kuan's Travellers Among Mountains and Streams (painted in around 1000AD) to Rubens' The Rainbow Landscape (painted about 1636) and Hokusai's 35 Views of Mount Fuji (created as coloured woodblock prints from about 1830 to 1835), again and again imagine life as an abundant interlinked system between sky and Earth.
Governments face the daunting task of developing policies and making investment decisions for climate change adaptation in an environment that consist of complex, interlinked systems with manifold uncertainties.
Gribbin argues that the story of life is an "example of surface complexity built upon foundations of deep simplicity", and in his final and most interesting chapter on Lovelock's Gaia theory we sense the real power of chaos and complexity to explain the interlinked systems that keep the Earth in a delicate state of equilibrium.
Furthermore, aircrews typically manage stable interlinked systems that operate within expected parameters, and emergency events occur when the functioning of these systems is threatened.
A tower, which consists of 16 floors interlinked by a system of ropes is anchored to the seabed and kept vertical by appropriate buoyancy on the top.
The NCBI was a system of interlinked biological databases created by the US National Library of Medicine, which provided a series of search services for biological data.
