Complex Biological Systems<br />
Any function performed by a system that is not the result of a single part in the system,<br />
but rather is the result of interacting parts in the system, is an emergent property.<br />
Systems that have emergent properties are said to be irreducible.<br />
A system is said to be complex if its emergent properties are unpredictable ??.<br />
Living ‚systems‘ are complex systems.<br />
The recognition that complex systems, especially life, are truly <strong>und</strong>erstood from<br />
knowledge of the interactions of their component parts is f<strong>und</strong>amental to<br />
Systems Biology.<br />
However, the identification and analysis of system‘s parts is an important aspect of<br />
research into complex systems.
