Abstract

Time is intrinsic to all complex systems. Here we explore the complexity of time from three different disciplinary perspectives: the physical, the biological and the social. We do this by listing some expressions of time taken from everyday speech and idioms and relating them to complex temporal concepts that are central to these different disciplines. The result is a series of small sections that together weave a particular interdisciplinary (hi)story of time in complexity.

Fußnoten
1
As do quantum mechanics (at least up to the point of wavefunction collapse, or many-worlds splitting, or decoherence, or whatever interpretation you prefer) and relativity.
 
2
Both the following quotes from an interview with Julian Barbour by John Brockman on 15/08/99 at https://​www.​edge.​org/​conversation/​the-end-of-time
 
3
According to the Copenhagen interpretation.
 
5
More precisely, the entropy of a closed system does not decrease with time.
 
6
State space is also called phase space in Physics. See also Stepney, Chap. 3 of this volume.
 
7
“Stocks are the elements of the system that you can see, feel, count, or measure at any given time” (Meadows 2008, p. 17).
 
8
Jay Forrester, founder of system dynamics: the modelling of complex organisations through “causal loop” diagrams and their behaviour through computer simulation.
 
9
An influential name attributed to J. Doyne Farmer, one of the original Dynamical Systems Collective at UC Santa Cruz.
