|   Complex adaptive systems are special cases of complex systems,often defined as a 'complex macroscopic collection' of relatively'similar and partially connected micro-structures' – formed in order toadapt to the changing environment, and increase its survivability as a macro-structure. They are complex  in that they are dynamic networks of interactions , and their relationships are not aggregations of the individual static entities. They are adaptive ; in that the individual and collective behavior  mutate and self-organize  corresponding to the change-initiating micro-event or collection of events. |
