Complexity science

Complexity science is the study of how simple things like bacteria, animals, or computer programs can work together to do something that is much more complicated than any single part. For example, you can put ten Lego pieces together to make a house that is much bigger and more complicated than any single Lego piece. Bacteria and animals also work together to create complex systems like the human body, or a group of animals in the wild that all work together. Computer programs also work together to create complicated things like websites or games. So complexity science studies how these things work together so that we can understand them better.
