complexity

Globalization has increased the complexity of political issues.

There are ways to solve that, but they all increase the complexity of the tests.

Is it that moral complexity yields lack of decisiveness?

The three rules I mentioned might be great for bird simulations, but they don't take into account the complexity and unpredictability of human behavior.

The evolution of the symbolism is reflected in the archaeological record first of all by the increasing complexity of the tokens themselves.

So from fewer, simpler and relatively similar forms of life billions of years ago, life on Earth has now become a dazzling array of diversity and complexity.

The change from redistribution to formal trade—often based on regulated commerce that perhaps involved fixed prices and even currency—was closely tied to growing political and social complexity and hence to the development of the state in the ancient world.

The complexity of the microclimate is closely related to the complexity of structure in vegetation, and generally speaking, the more complex the structure of vegetation, the more species of animal are able to make a living there.

The high plant biomass of the tropics leads to a greater spatial complexity in the environment, and this leads to a higher potential for diversity in the living things that can occupy a region.

It has been estimated that Monte Testaccio contains the remains of some 53 million amphorae, in which around 6,000million liters of oil were imported into the city from overseas, imports into imperial Rome were supported by the full might of the state and were therefore quite exceptional----but the size of the operations at Monte Testaccio, and the productivity and complexity that lay behind them, nonetheless cannot fail to impress.

The human groups that are the smallest and have the least social and political complexity, we call bands.

So, the level of complexity here refers to the organization of people into large, diverse groups, and densely populated communities.

No doubt the ability to talk about one's past represents memory of a different level of complexity than simple recognition or recall.

This considerable volume of intercommunity exchange brought a degree of social complexity in its wake.

They can do only so much to represent the full complexity of the global climate and hence may give only limited information about natural variability.

This technological shift cause profound changes in the complexity of African societies.

Ecologists concluded that the apparent stability of climax ecosystems depended on their complexity.

And findings like these have been of interest to biologists and environmental scientists in a number of countries who are trying to understand the complexities of how changes in a habitat affect the species in it. 

Man has no business with the simplicity or complexity of things.
