thanks... interesting article...

one quote I thought was interesting:

"AS: Not the best plan, but the best move. The concept of a plan is totally
foreign to my theory. Or maybe it is better to say that my theory discredits
such a concept. Complex systems develop spontaneously in nature. So to find the
best move in a given position we need to consider the following four factors:"

complexity develops spontaneously...

is this accurate?

best regards,

Dan
