Complexity Theory
The study of complex systems and how interactions within these systems give rise to collective behaviors.
Modular Design
A design approach that divides a system into smaller parts or modules that can be independently created, modified, replaced, or exchanged.
Chaos Theory
The study of dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, leading to unpredictable behavior.
Backward Chaining
An inference method used in AI and expert systems where reasoning starts from the goal and works backward to determine the necessary conditions.
Graceful Degradation
A design principle that ensures a system continues to function at a reduced level rather than completely failing when some part of it goes wrong.
