DESCRIPTION:\n\nEarth Awareness Program\nComplex Systems\nwith David Oertel\n\nDavid 
 will talk about some simple complex systems concepts.  Some examples of 
 complex systems are:  a brain, an ant colony, a flock of birds, a 
 hurricane, and the U.S. economic system.  What IS a complex system?  How 
 does it achieve sophisticated behavior without centralized control?  What 
 is non-linearity and “sensitivity to initial conditions?”  What are 
 “cellular automata” and how do they help us understand complex systems? 
  And how do complex systems challenge classical notions of determinism!  
 These and other subjects related to complex systems will be presented and 
 discussed.  A slide-show introduction to complex systems may be included in 
 David’s presentation.  Participants will be encouraged to express their 
 reactions, if they want.\n\nFeel free to bring your own sources regarding 
 these issues to share!\n\nHumanist Hall is wheelchair accessible around the 
 corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are expected\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
