In [[Node Theory]], complexity describes the capacity of a system to generate and maintain meaningful patterns through self-interaction. Unlike mere complication, which simply involves many parts, true complexity emerges when a system develops enough internal relationships to start creating its own meanings and engaging in [[Self-reference|self-referential]] processes.

== Overview ==

Complexity is not determined by size or number of components, but by a system's ability to generate, maintain, and evolve meaningful patterns. A human brain exhibits complexity not because it has billions of neurons, but because those neurons form languages that can model themselves. Weather systems show complexity because each state influences future states through intricate feedback loops.
