The Seven Veils of Complexity Ethan Decker for the Seminar in Ecological Complexity. Properties of complexity Pattern. Flexibility - randomness, stochasticity.
River basins seem similar at multiple scales.
Fractals, scale-invariance, power laws, scaling relations. Steady states, limit cycles, periodicity. Usually no equilibrium. Phase transitions and regime switching. Droughts, heat waves, and other climate anomalities.
