[FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

[Owen Densmore]

The physical examples like Saturn's pole formation is "complex" due to its
being an attractor state, I believe.

If I were doing a search for complex phenomena, which actually is a nifty
idea, I'd first tweet Melanie Mitchell, or Mark Newman, or ask Stephen, but
then I'd look for:
- tipping points
- equilibria
- fractal formations
- unstable systems (reverse of equilibra?)
- sigmoidal graph of a variable

You might like this, I'm following it:

Post back if you find something satisfying.
