Abstract

We propose a new definition of complexity. The definition shows thatwhen a system evolves to a final state via a transient state, itscomplexity depends on the abundance of both the final state andtransient state. The abundance of the transient state may be describedby the diversity of the response to disturbance. We hope that thisdefinition can describe a clear boundary between simple systems andcomplex systems by showing that all the simple systems have zerocomplexity, and all the complex systems have positive complexity. Someexamples of the complexity calculations are presented, which supportsour hope.
