What is Complexity? - The philosophy of complexity per se with application to some examples in evolution

8 Conclusion


It should be clear from the above that there is no one appropriate measure of complexity appropriate to evolution in general, but that it is desirable to be clear about the language of representation, the type of difficulty and the overall formulation that each variety refers to. At the very least we should distinguish concepts like size, order and variety from complexity. In this way we can be clearer about the strength and context of any such use for clearer analysis and communication.
