Conclusions
nMany simple models exhibit self-organization (the spontaneous development of complex structures).
nModels with symmetric rules can have highly asymmetric behavior (symmetry breaking).
nSome effects may not have easily identifiable
causes.
nThe 2nd law of thermodynamics (increasing disorder) is not violated since these systems are far from equilibrium (driven by energy flow).
nIf there is intelligent design in nature, it is at a
more fundamental level (the
underlying laws of nature) than its
proponents commonly suppose.
