[Fis] New Discussion Session--Complexity & feedback. Loops (OFF-LINE)

[Krassimir Markov]

Dear Prof. Erdi,

Thank you for the interesting discussion topic you have provided.
It assumes significant prior knowledge in the field of complex systems
analysis.
I do not consider myself a universal connoisseur of this field. I have
dealt with aspects of complexity in the field of business informatics as
well as cognitive science.
I will take the liberty of trying to activate the discussion by suggesting
that we start with an example concerning complexity and feedback.

Let's take a multinational corporation as an example. It is undoubtedly a
complex cybernetic system. And its feedback is correspondingly so complex.
Let's look at a diagram I published in 2008.
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://foibg.com/ibs_isc/ibs-07/IBS-07-p31.pdf__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!R_aPMOqqMT2FC0fOPEvHIWkDtiIQcy_g1zBYNjGsV3nsDCBZlurHxLd1q2a9mFdN_GV36hnFTsC3yI-eyzY$ ).

It reflects forward and backward connections in a complex business
structure, which form a complex hierarchical structure of informational
interaction between the elements of the corporation.
This scheme is fundamental to an equally complex software product for
automated servicing of corporate management and production activities, the
design, development and implementation of which I have led over the years.
This complex has been in operation in a number of corporate companies since
1990 and continues to be one of the useful products on the software market
in Bulgaria (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ejsystem.bg/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!R_aPMOqqMT2FC0fOPEvHIWkDtiIQcy_g1zBYNjGsV3nsDCBZlurHxLd1q2a9mFdN_GV36hnFTsC34-eOZyE$ ).

I will conclude aphoristically - I would say that feedback in complex
systems is ... complex.
And as a continuation of the aphorism, I will say that the absence of
feedback is also feedback (as a mathematician, I will note that there is a
zero between positive and negative).
Although it sounds like a joke, it is the very truth.

Sincerely,
Krassimir
