This book introduces a comprehensive framework tailored for dissecting
complex systems across diverse disciplines. What defines a complex
system? How can we harness information to quantify its order,
structure, and intricacy? Delving into phenomena from the intricate
processes in physical systems to the dynamic behaviours in cellular
automata and pattern formation, readers will uncover the profound
interplay between physics and information theory. This intricate
relationship provides fresh insight into physical phenomena,
reimagining them through the lens of information. Notably, the book
demystifies how seemingly opposing forces—rising order and
increasing disorder—coexist, ultimately shedding light on the second
law of thermodynamics as an outcome of deterministic, reversible
dynamics beneath the surface. Geared towards graduate students,
this book presumes an undergraduate foundation in mathematics and
physics, ensuring a deep, engaging exploration for its readers.
