Abstract Many complex systems reveal a small-world topology, which allows simultaneously local and global efficiency in the interaction between system constituents. Here, we report the results of a comprehensive study that investigates the relation between the clustering properties in such small-world systems and the strength of interactions between its constituents, quantified by the link weight. [...] [...]
Similarities of actualization and complexity
We already know humans are complex systems. So it should not surprise us that actualization research bears a stunning resemblance to the research into complexity theory. [...]
Complex Systems
