DESCRIPTION: The Architecture of Complexity \n\n Next in our Papers in Syst
 ems discussion series: “The Architecture of Complexity” by Herbert Sim
 on. \n\n The discussion will be led by Josh Reynolds. \n\n When: December 
 1st\, 2025\, 1PM - 2PM Eastern Time (US/Canada) (19:00 CET). The Zoom room
  will remain open until 2:30PM for informal discussion. (Check time in you
 r timezone: WorldTimeBuddy ) \n\n The paper is available at:\nhttps://facu
 lty.sites.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/archive/tesfatsi/ArchitectureOfComplexity.H
 Simon1962.pdf \n\n Some quotes to tease the appetite for reading this 1962
  paper: \n\n "Metaphor and analogy can be helpful\, or they can be mislead
 ing. All depends on whether the similarities the metaphor captures are sig
 nificant or superficial." \n\n "In such systems\, the whole is more than t
 he sum of the parts\, not in an ultimate\, metaphysical sense\, but in the
  important pragmatic sense that\, given the properties of the parts and th
 e laws of their interaction\, it is not a trivial matter to infer the prop
 erties of the whole. In the face of complexity\, an in-principle reduction
 ist may be at the same time\na pragmatic holist." \n\n "Most physical and 
 biological hierarchies are described in spatial terms. We detect the organ
 elles in a cell in the way we detect the raisins in a cake — they are 
 “visibly” differentiated substructures localized spatially in the larg
 er structure. On the other hand\, we\npropose to identify social hierarchi
 es not by observing who lives close to whom but by observing who interacts
  with whom. These two points of view can be reconciled by defining hierarc
 hy in terms of intensity of interaction\, but observing that in most biolo
 gical and physical systems relatively intense interaction implies relative
  spatial propinquity." \n
