Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity (Helix Books)
Paperback HardcoverIn "Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity," John H. Holland argues that complexity in natural and artificial systems arises due to adaptation through a process of combined blind variation and selective retention. Holland presents various models of complex systems, such as genetic algorithms and neural networks, to illustrate how such systems can generate emergent levels of organization and structure. He also discusses the implications of this view on fields such as biology, economics, and political science. Overall, the book provides a framework for understanding how complexity can arise from simple processes of adaptation.
