"We've seen repeatedly that a small set of well-chosen building blocks, when constrained by simple rules, can generate an unbounded stream of complex patterns. As Murray Gell-Mann (1994) says succinctly in The Quark and the Jaguar: scientists, including many members of the Santa Fe institute family, are trying hard to understand the ways in which structures arise without the imposition of special requirements from the outside. In an astonishing variety of contexts, apparently complex structures or behaviors emerge from systems characterized by simple rules"
