Complex
systems
have many interacting parts which behave according to simple, individual rules, and this results in emergent properties.
But from Aristotle, let's move onto a more concrete example of complex
systems.
I call this simplifying complexity, and it's what we do at the chair of
systems
design at ETH Zurich.
When this alarm sounds, the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal systems, known as the HPA axis, work together to send signals to the parasympathetic nervous system.
And we applied this technique to many of the other
systems
on the satellite as well, and day by day, our design evolved from CAD to prototypes to production units.
I'm referring to how immigrants, when they come to these neighborhoods, they begin to alter the one-dimensionality of parcels and properties into more socially and economically complex systems, as they begin to plug an informal economy into a garage, or as they build an illegal granny flat to support an extended family.
And this is really hard, because we live in incredibly complex
systems.
We have the human
systems
of how we communicate and interrelate and have our whole constructed society, We have the industrial systems, which is essentially the entire economy, and then all of that has to operate within the biggest system, and, I would argue, the most important, the ecosystem.
And you see, the choices that we make as an individual, but the choices that we make in every single job that we have, no matter how high or low you are in the pecking order, has an impact on all of these
systems.
And the thing is that we have to find ways if we're actually going to address sustainability of interlocking those complex
systems
and making better choices that result in net environmental gains.
So essentially, everything that is created goes through a series of life cycle stages, and we use this scientific process called life cycle assessment, or in America, you guys say life cycle analysis, in order to have a clearer picture of how everything that we do in the technical part of those
systems
affects the natural environment.
So we go all the way back to the extraction of raw materials, and then we look at manufacturing, we look at packaging and transportation, use, and end of life, and at every single one of these stages, the things that we do have an interaction with the natural environment, and we can monitor how that interaction is actually affecting the
systems
and services that make life on Earth possible.
We need to identify how we can start to leverage these types of things that are already happening and start to design
systems
and services that alleviate these problems.
I mean, there's a lot of complex
systems
going on here.
And this is what I call behavior-changing products: products,
systems
or services that intervene and solve these problems up front.
The people who produce these phones, and some of which I'm sure are in the room right now, could potentially look at doing what we call closed-loop systems, or product system services, so identifying that there is a market demand and that market demand's not going to go anywhere, so you design the product to solve the problem.
So what we're saying here is that we took a $3.7 trillion gamble to save our financial systems, and you know what, it paid off.
So we've argued that human sexuality has essentially evolved, until agriculture, as a way of establishing and maintaining the complex, flexible social systems, networks, that our ancestors were very good at, and that's why our species has survived so well.
This year, we start the process, with the Angolan government, to establish one of the largest

of protected areas in the world to preserve the Okavango-Zambezi water tower we have been exploring.
It's just mind-boggling how massive these
systems
can get.
They are essentially isolated systems, so if we like, we can think of them as a scaled-down version of the entire universe.
might be answered by studying these
systems.
The extreme gravity of these
systems
is accelerating particles of gas to great speeds, and great speeds means great temperatures.
And the truth is, the remaining bottleneck in being able to do this is just upping the resolution of brain scan
systems.
So this was done with the highest-resolution brain scan
systems
available today, and their resolution has increased really about a thousandfold in the last several years.
But yet most of the recent advances in resolution have actually come from ingeniously clever encoding and decoding solutions in the F.M. radio frequency transmitters and receivers in the MRI
systems.
Grasshopper mice resist painful venom from scorpion prey through genetic changes in their nervous
systems.
This enormous need of migrant workers has powered fast upgrade and innovation across the country's transport
systems.
But it has never reached truly transformative scale, likely because traditional education

in other tech centers of the world are far more advanced and far more stable.
