→为什么是复杂性？
Why does complexity exist in the first place, especially among biological systems? A definitive answer to this question remains elusive. One perspective is based on the evolutionary demands biological systems face. The evolutionary success of biological structures and organisms depends on their ability to capture information about the environment, be it molecular or ecological. Biological complexity may then emerge as a result of evolutionary pressure on the effective encoding of structured relationships which support differential survival.

到底为什么复杂性会存在，特别是在生物系统中？这个问题的确切答案仍然难以捉摸。一种观点是基于生物系统所面临的进化需求。生物结构和生物体的进化成功取决于它们捕获环境信息的能力，无论是分子层面的还是生态层面的。生物的复杂性可能就会涌现，作为进化压力作用于生物体结构的结果。
Another clue may be found in the emerging link between complexity and network structure. Complexity appears very prominently in systems that combine segregated and heterogeneous components with large-scale integration. Such systems become more complex as they more efficiently integrate more information, that is, as they become more capable to accommodate both the existence of specialized components that generate information and the existence of structured interactions that bind these components into a coherent whole. Thus reconciling parts and wholes, complexity may be a necessary manifestation of a fundamental dialectic in nature.

另一条线索可能在复杂性和网络结构之间的联系中找到。复杂性在大规模集成了不同组件的系统中显得非常突出。这些系统变得更加复杂，因为它们更有效地整合更多的信息，也就是说，它们更有能力既适应专门的组件，也适应将这些组件绑定为一个连贯整体的结构化交互作用。因此，调和部分和整体，复杂性可能是自然界种基本辩证法的表现。
