Goals and Resources

Research into dynamic systems touches on some of the deepest issues in science and philosophy, including order vs. chaos, randomness vs. determinacy, analysis vs. synthesis. At the same time, this new field has introduced new objects of study. These objects were barely conceivable before the development of systems analysis tools and barely renderable without computational media. These new media allow us to analyze not just laboratory-based phenomena but also connect strongly to many patterns and phenomena found in the everyday world.
