If your complexity model ends with a tidy conclusion, it isn’t complexity. We end our Atlas unfinished! Incompleteness isn’t failure. It’s method. It’s imagination. It’s the only honest map we've got. sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-... @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

Ch29 Atlas: Complex Causality. Most models flatten social life into neat causes and effects. Real complexity is tangled, temporal. Drop the clockwork. Think in cases. Trace feedback. Embrace the mess. sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-... @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

Computational models have their place, but social complexity demands a wider modelling platform, including qualitative and mixed methods, all grounded in the ontological messiness of social reality. @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social r sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-...

Final Atlas theme: methods. From critically engaging computation to embracing systems mapping, QCA, & complex realism, we ask: can our methods meet the complexity challenge? Not yet, but we're close. sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-... @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

Economies aren’t machines seeking balance; they're living systems in disequilibrium: adaptive, entangled, unpredictable. Complexity economics doesn’t fix old models. It re-imagines the system entirely. sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-... @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

Complexity scientists: stop acting like policy is a physics problem. Wicked problems aren’t just complex; they're political. Engage power, irrationality, and governance to be useful. sacswebsite.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-... @lassegerrits.bsky.social @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

Digital space/time intertwine with the urban, impacting how we plan, model, live. This “space of flows” reinforces megacities as central nodes, deepens inequalities, & reshapes mobility.
