Re: Managing complexity?

The elegant idea of "current global disorder results from a failure to manage complexity" is the mirror image of the idea of 'order in chaos', which ties increasing complexity and the emergence of the disorder together. Thus it also calls for the manageability of complexity, no matter how high is
