In a sense, everything that exists has evolved, and nothing has been created. Even though we may think that our table or motor car or computer is the product of conscious design and has been created by human hands, we remember that we ourselves have evolved from the cosmic dust and we are progressing evolution by making artefacts which are as much a product of our biology as is our hair or our fingernails.

More.... is not necessarily better.

"War baby", rather lazy, well-travelled, learned photography using a Zeiss Contax. Very interested in complex systems, their development, and in the way biology "always wins".

from complexity digest . .

"One of the most important features of biology is the ability of organisms to persist in the face of changing conditions. Consider the remarkable fact that every organism alive today is the product of billions of generations in which its progenitors, without fail, managed to produce progeny that survived to reproduce. To achieve this consistency, organisms must have a balance between robustness and evolvability, that is, between resisting and allowing change in their own internal states"

From "Five Questions" Carlos Gershenson ISBN 8792130135

"How would you define complexity?"

I think that it is what characterises all open, evolved, systems where the structure has emerged through self organisation
