So...
It's a great system to study.
And one of the things that's joyful from the point of your research, but also just even pondering about it, is that you can approach it from different angles, different perspectives, but then you see how things are interconnected, how you need the other thing.
And this diffuses, I think, a lot of the things that are current standing problems.
For example, in the social sciences where you just see the economic aspect of a system or just the political aspect or just the sociological network issue.
And you also see the role of infrastructure vis-a-vis the lives of people.
And you also see innovation as sort of something that becomes interesting and how that then leads to more economic exchange and economic growth.
So everything that we study more in isolation becomes interconnected.
And I think the point is that it becomes much easier to understand.
much, much more tangible.
And those articulations become clearer.
So this is kind of the journey, right?
It's how complex systems allow you to start connecting these things and understand them together rather than being confused as you study them in isolation.
Yes, of course.
I mean, first, these are all interesting systems that exist in nature that we don't understand very well.
So they're just challenge problems.
In that sense, they're interesting.
But I think what they have in common are some of the things already said.
But let's say them again in light of what the examples just brought up.
So the uncolony, the brain, the cities, I say.
