A complex adaptive system is a system in which a perfect understanding of the individual parts does not automatically convey a perfect understanding of the whole system's behavior. In complex adaptive systems, the whole is more complex than its parts, and more complicated and meaningful than the aggregate of its parts. The study of complex adaptive systems, a subset of nonlinear dynamical systems, is highly interdisciplinary and blends insights from the natural and social sciences to develop system-level models and insights that allow for heterogeneous agents, phase transition, and emergent behavior.

'''复杂适应性系统(complex adaptive system)'''是一种系统，在这种系统中，对系统部分行为的理解并不能完美解释系统的整体行为。在复杂适应系统中，系统的整体比其单独某个组成部分或部分的加和都更加复杂、更有意义。复杂适应系统是非线性动力系统的子集，其研究是高度跨学科的，融合了自然科学和社会科学的知识开发出了系统级的模型和见解，从而使得系统可以实现异构代理、相变和突现行为。

They are complex in that they are dynamic networks of interactions, and their relationships are not aggregations of the individual static entities, i.e., the behavior of the ensemble is not predicted by the behavior of the components.  They are adaptive in that the individual and collective behavior mutate and self-organize corresponding to the change-initiating micro-event or collection of events.
