6 Relation to other definitions of complexity
Kauffman [17], is less concerned with complexity than with order, but introduces a working definition of complexity for the formal models of self-organisation he investigates. He uses complexity for the "number of conflicting constraints". This fits neatly into my above definition because it represents the difficulty of specifying a successful evolutionary walk given the constraints imposed.
