Dynamics and thermodynamics in hierarchically organized systems : applications in physics, biology, and economics /
One of the most fundamental and efficient ways of conceptualizing complex systems is to organize them hierarchically. A hierarchically organized system is represented by a network of interconnected subsystems, each of which has its own network of subsystems, and so on, until some elementary subsyste...
