COMPLEX SYSTEMS WITH EMERGENT FORMS

Chaotic Non-linear Dynamical Systems

Cellular Automata

Genetic Algorithms

Granular Synthesis

Some characteristics:
- simple rules generate complex behaviour and results

- component elements act like quanta

- global behaviour emerges over a large number of iterations

- serial computation may be inefficient; parallel architecture preferred

- models aspects of biological or physical systems
