Act Gently In A Complex Network

To everyone, I apologize that I have been late in posting this topic. Anyways, last Tuesday, Mr Rene Batac was our guest lecturer in Physics 10. He talked about Complex Systems.

Now, as he had told, complex systems seem to be complex matters with regards to ones studies. However, it really is the one that we understand easily. It comprises of emergence and self-mechanism.

There are many examples of complex systems, but in this post, I would like to emphasize more in the complex networks. First, it is a small world network because every person in this world is just separated by six levels. So try seeing this society a big web and everyone is in that web. Connect each one of us and you will just see at most six degress. Last is that it is scale-free, wherein not only one individual can be related to another. However, we have to accept in this scenario that the more popular ones are the more fortunate ones. In other words, the rich gets richer.

The only insight in this lesson is that we should act gently inside the big complex network where we are in. We should be careful with all our actions towards another individuals because we never know what domino effect it might cause. For example, you would want to get rid of a person whom you never know is a friend to one of your best friends. Another is that, we have to accept that life is unfair. The ones on the top go further beyond. And the main goal is not to beat the ones in the top but to beat ourselves by taking ourselves to the greatest levels that we could reach. And so, you may also think of how you should act gently in a complex network.
