When a new building block is discovered, the result is usually a range of innovations.

nonlinear interactions almost always make the behavior of the aggregate more complicated than would be predicted by summing or averaging.

The recycling of resource by the aggregate behavior of a diverse array of agents is much more than the sum of the individual actions.

This use of building blocks to generate internal models is a pervasive feature of complex adaptive systems.

The measure of performance of any given agent is the amount of money it accumulates through its actions.

Evolution continually innovates, but at each level it conserves the elements that are recombined to yield the innovations.
