In a peer-reviewed paper, Towards a complexity-aware theory of change for participatory research programs working within agricultural innovation systems, which was published this week in the journal Agricultural Systems, my co-author Boru Douthwaite and I took on this challenge.
In the last decade, manufacturing automation systems have experienced a strong trend towards an increasing complexity, variability and flexibility caused by growing product spectra and declining lot sizes.
Both points combined resulted in a general tendency towards an increasing complexity and refinement of the scholastic discourse.
There is a trend towards more/less complexity within an AR-DRG.
Towards a Strong Communication Complexity Theory or Generating Quasi-Random Sequences from Two Communicating Semi-Random Sources.
It merges a focus on rewriting the barcodes of life with a focus on managing complexity, so that contemporary life sciences not only provide a high resolution understanding of life, but also allow the scientific gaze to leap towards a higher level complexity: beyond genetic determinism.
For the ToPs, we declared 0 (minimum value) as the ancestral character state assuming that the primordial proteome had a simpler organization and there was a progressive trend towards organismal complexity.
Since the oldest species, M. rufocanus, displaying a simplex morphology whereas the two most recent species display polymorphic (M. glareolus) or complex teeth (M. rutilus), this lineage might exemplify a trend towards an increase of complexity of the tooth pattern [8].
Companies issuing "One Report" note that it is a logical consequence of having a sustainable strategy to support a sustainable society, a way of ensuring a consistent message both internally and externally, and an important step towards reducing complexity and costs.
