Beschreibung:
This book presents atheory as well as methods to understand and to purposively influence complex
systems. It suggests a theory of complex systems as nested systems, i. e.
systems that enclose other systems and that are simultaneously enclosed by even
other systems. According to the theory presented, each enclosing system emerges
through time from the generative activities of the systems they enclose.
