-*{{complex capsule}}'''[[Complex]]''': Complex systems are dynamic, constantly changing, and interact with themselves and the environment in unexpected ways. They may comprise multiple other simple, complicated and indeed complex systems interacting with each other. So step one is to manage the simple and complicated sub-systems as effectively as possible — deploy checklists, simplify, homogenise — but even after that you are ''still'' left with a system which is innately unpredictable. It will do unexpected things. Like blowing up. So have your plans for dealing with those [[normal accident]]s.
