My wife (Cynthia F. Kurtz) wrote a non-mathematical book on complexity a couple years ago: "Confluence: Tools for Thinking about How Organized Plans and Self-organized Patterns Flow Together" https://www.cfkurtz.com/confluence/ https://www.cfkurtz.com/confluence/ The blurb: "A path winds its way through a forest. Why does it go the way it goes? Did someone design it? Or was the path made smooth by feet that chose the smoothest path? Maybe some of both? Confluence examines the many ways in which organized, intentional plans (like paths we design) and self-organized, unintentional patterns (like paths that emerge where we walk) intermingle (happen at the same time and place) and interact (influence each other). The book lays out seven “thinking spaces” (like this one) that explore various aspects of the structures and relationships that flow together in our lives."
