Bifurcation describes how feedback loops cause chaos in perfectly deterministic systems.
Fractals, coined by Mandelbrot, refer to infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.
Cellular automata are discrete, abstract computational systems that generate complex patterns through simple rules. Their understanding is fundamental to complexity science.
The Ising model is a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. It consists of discrete interactive variables that represent magnetic dipole moments of atomic spins.
