“MORE IS DIFFERENT” Complex Systems Paradigm
MICRO - the relevant elementary agents
INTER - their basic, simple interactions
MACRO - the emerging collective objects
Intrinsically (3x) interdisciplinary:
-MICRO belongs to one science
-MACRO to another science
-Mechanisms: a third science

Yet with a strong collective identity and common motivation.
A science without a fixed area, moving with the frontier , much like fundamental high energy physics used to be (atoms->quarks)
In the present case feeding on the frontiers (and consuming them)

Complexity Induces a New relation Theoretical Science Real Life Applications: Traditional Applied Science applied hardware devices (results of experimental science)
to material / physical reality. Modern Complexity rather applies theoretical methods e.g. - new (self-)organization concepts and - (self-)adaptation emergence theories
to real life, but not necessarily material / physical items: - social and economic change,
- individual and collective creativity, - the information flow in life

Applications of Complexity are thus of a new brand: "Theoretical Applied Science" and should be recognized as such when evaluating their expected practical impact

I present in the sequeldata and theoretical study of Poland's 3000 counties over 15 years following the 1990 liberalization of the economy.
The data tells a very detailed story of application of multi-agents complexity to real life.
To understand it we have to go back in time more then 200 years ago in Holland.

We show it was rather due to the neglect of the discreteness.
Once taken in account => complex adaptive collective objects. emerge even in the worse conditions
Misfit was always assigned to the neglect of specific details.

Electronic Journal of Probability Vol. 8 (2003) Paper no. 5, pp 1–51.Branching Random Walk with Catalysts Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
Shnerb, Louzoun, Betteleim, Solomon (2000), (2001) studied the following system of interacting particles on Zd: There are two kinds of particles, called A-particles and B-particles.
The A-particles perform continuous time simple random walks, independently of each other. The jump rate of each A-particle is DA.
The B-particles perform continuous time simple random walks with jump rate DB,
but in addition they die at rate δ and
a B-particle at x at time s splits into two particles at x during the next ds time units with a probability βNA(x, s)ds+o(ds),
where NA(x, s) (NB(x, s)) denotes the number of A-particles (respectively B-particles) at x at time s.

Using Kesten, Sidoravicius (2003) techniques, we proved (2005) that: in d dimensions, the condition for B growth is: δ / DA> 1-Pd where, the Polya constant
Pd= the probability for an A to return to origin

in terms of the Master Equation:d Pnm / dt = death of B’s: - [ m Pnm – (m+1) P n,m+1 ]
birth of B’s in the presence of n A’s - n [ m P nm – (m-1) P n,m-1] + diffusion to and from neighbors
Original Field Theory analysis: express the dynamics of Pnm (x) = the probability that there are m B’s and n A’s at the site x .

• Case 1: low level of capital redistribution -high income inequality -outbreaks of instability (e.g. Russia, Ukraine).•Case2: high level of central capital redistribution - slow growth or even regressing economy (Latvia) but quite - uniform wealth in space and time.•Case 3 :Poland - optimal balance : - transfers enough to insure adaptability and sustainability - yet the local reinvestment is enough to insure growth.
Other predictions
Very few localized growth centers
(occasionally efficient but unequal and unstable)
Uniform distribution (inefficient but stable)

Conclusions• The logistic dynamics was believed for 200 years to be capable
to describe a very wide range of systems in biology, society, economics, etc
• The naïve continuous differential equations expression of this dynamics lead often to predictions incompatible with the empirical evidence
• We show that taking properly into account the multi-agent character of the system one predicts generically the emergence of adaptive, collective objects supporting development and sustainability.
• The theoretical predictions are validated by the confrontation with the empirical evidence and are relevant for real life economic, social and biological applications.
