Edge Of Chaos
Interesting things happen at the boundary between order and chaos, where the qualities of both states are evident... Many complex dynamic systems, including life itself, seem to naturallyevolve towards this "edge of chaos", where adaptation, problem solving, and evolution by mutation and selection are all exhibited... The game of life is famous for demonstrating "emergent complexity" - how elaborate patterns and behaviors can emerge fromvery simple rules...
