The Difference Between a Complex Process and a Complex Thing
Question
Hello,
I read in the book God Plays Dice. A very beautiful book, by the way.
That you distinguish between a complex process and a complex object.
Whereas with a complex process it is not plausible to claim that it is random, with a more complex object one can claim that.
But I did not understand why. Why is a process that turns from simple to complex different from a complex object?
Is it not possible to imagine that this process is random?
Answer
I don’t remember saying such a thing. Can you point me to it?
