What Actually Is Complexity Science?

Science feels like it is often removed from our every day lives - its not always clear how any of it is useful for the average person, even if we're surrounded by it. In this video we explore why the scientific toolbox we've spent centuries establishing can sometimes seem so inadequate for the real world.
I am trying to aim for quality over quantity with these videos. If you want to support the channel consider checking out my patreon: patreon.com/NotDavid

CITATIONS/FOOTNOTES:
[1] (3:15) There are many scientific papers regarding long term and short term memory storage but here is just a general starting point that everyone can access.
https://qbi.uq.edu.au/brain-basics/me...
[2] (3:30) The game being shown here is TIS-100 and is a great game if you want a fun introduction to how computers work on the most fundamental level.
[3] (3:59) Rick Nason's book deals specifically with complexity in business, and while some of the focus and vocabulary is a bit different, the overall message is the same. Also not sponsored by Rick Nason.
[4] (4:52) It's important to give context when talking about emergent phenomena. Computers are not themselves complex, but they can be part of a complex system (like the internet).
[5] (5:00) As I learned later its probably not correct to say that it was MISSING but more that the hollow area was filled with fluid that compressed his brain into a thin layer. Never this still shows the flexibility of the brain.

Footnote: (6:00) Why animal crossing? I just think its cute.
Footnote: (6:49) Here I cite Minecraft and Breath of the Wild, and while I know the latter definitely has emergent phenomena, the more I thought about the former the less I'm sure - it just FELT as though it should have it. I was originally thinking about red-stone structures but these are really produced by players and essentially just computers, not self-organizing simple agents. I still wanted to leave it in largely for this footnote.
footnote: (6:55) here I talked about traders as people, but in reality many of these traders are automated bots with some human guidance. Standupmaths released a video called "What was the most expensive book ever?" that has a really good example of this.
[6] oops no 6
[7] Answer in Progress has a great video on the complexity of distribution
• my package was "delayed" so i tracked...
[8 - 10] (8:00) If your interested in network theory check out the book Networks: An Introduction by Mark Newman. For dimensionality reduction, Data-Driven Modeling & Scientific Computation: Methods for Complex Systems & Big Data by Nathan Kutz is a good place to start. For statistical physics .... good luck ...
[11] (8:20) Bionics is a really broad field that I don't have much familiarity with but one of its main applications today is for prosthetics (see for example https://www.science.org.au/curious/pe..., but there are other applications such as biologically inspired building materials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomime...)
Footnote: the r/place event is also an amazing example of a complex, emergent phenomena. I wish I had known about it before finishing the video.
