Comment on Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) by Matt Mihelic

It is the definition of emergent concepts that they are outside of the realm of what can be logically deduced from what is known at the level of their components. This is in essence the idea of Godel’s incompleteness theorems.
The following is a quote from an article entitled “TRUTH IN COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS MODELS SHOULD BE BASED ON PROOF BY CONSTRUCTIVE VERIFICATION” by David Shipworth (Worldviews, Science And Us: pp. 141-155).

“‘Emergent’ properties of complex adaptive systems (CAS) models create particular epistemological and ontological challenges. These challenges bear directly on current debates in the philosophy of mathematics and in theoretical computer science. CAS research, with its emphasis on computer simulation, is heavily reliant on models which explore the entailments of Formal Axiomatic Systems (FAS). The incompleteness results of Gödel, the incomputability results of Turing, and the Algorithmic Information Theory results of Chaitin, undermine a realist (platonic) truth model of emergent properties.”

Thanks a lot for your comments and the references. I agree with you about the “unpredictability” of quantum mechanics. However I am not so sure that could be applied this point of view at CAS. I will read the abstracts, may be it could help me to have a better understanding of the CAS emergency.

The apparent “non-linearity” seen biologically-based multi-agent complex adaptive systems shares the seeming “unpredictability” of quantum mechanics. It is becoming more obvious that “bio-logic” is quantum logic, and so the “complexity” seen in biologically-based multi-agent complex adaptive systems (e.g. eukaryotic organisms, corporations, or governments) is in reality a quantum logic phenomenon. Deutsch said that a system of quantum logic in a quantum computer must utilize quantum mechanics as a resource, and the links below are to abstracts of two related papers that deal with such theoretical considerations.
