复杂性通常被视为某些类型的系统的内在属性，或者至少被视为此类系统的特定描述的属性。本说明对复杂性的看法有所不同;即复杂性反映了对一个系统采用多种不同描述方式的必要性。这反过来又取决于我们能够有效地与一个系统相互作用的方式的数量，最终取决于可用的观测技术使我们可以访问的不同子系统的数量。一些重要的影响，这一点的观点，特别是在生物学系统分析的轴承，并在还原论作为一个一般的分析策略，指出。简要探讨了复杂性、错误和涌现概念之间的关系。
Complexity is generally viewed as an intrinsic property of certain kinds of systems, or at least, as a property of a specific description of such systems. The view towards complexity taken in the present note is different; namely, that complexity reflects the necessity for many distinct modes of description of a system. This in turn depends upon the number of ways we can effectively interact with a system, and ultimately on the number of distinct subsystems which available observational techniques make accessible to us. A number of important implications of this point of view, bearing particularly on system analysis in biology, and on reductionism as a general analytic strategy, are pointed out. The relation between the concepts of complexity, error and emergence is briefly explored.
