Santa Fe Institute’s John H. Holland:
 
“A Complex Adaptive System (CAS) is a
dynamic network of many agents (which may represent cells, species, individuals, teams, firms,
nations) acting in parallel, constantly acting and reacting to what the other agents are doing. The
control of a CAS tends to be highly dispersed and decentralized. If there is to be any coherent
behavior in the system, it has to arise from competition and cooperation among the agents
themselves. The overall behavior of the system is the result of a huge number of decisions made
every moment by many individual agents.”
