[FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

[┣glen┫]

Sorry.  I've abused the word coherent as a joke. I probably shouldn't be so flippant.  The defn of coherence they use does depend on an ontology.  But (I think) they use it as an immediate proxy for the real objects.  So, their defn of coherence wouldn't change.  My focus isn't so much on whether their calculation actually works as intended.  Just that it is a more formal concept than Nick's "objects that interact more with themselves than others".
