[FRIAM] Any non-biological complex systems?

[glen ☣]

Heh, you're not going to make an empathetic attempt to listen to Russ' intent? 8^)

My answer is either or both "yes" and/or "no", because your words are too ambiguous. Both "complex" and "system" are left to the audience's imagination.  I would say that each of those _can_ exhibit complex phenomena when constrained, by a controlling [sub]system, to particular regimes of their behavior space.  So, yes.  But I would also say that each of those does not normally or naturally remain in such states for very long or under a wide range of circumstances.  So, no.

I suppose you get to choose which of my answers you accept.
