A process where by larger entities, patterns and regularities arise through interactions of smaller entities that don't show such properties.  ex.. Snowflakes.   Fractal Patterns. 
Self Organization
Order arises out of interactions between components of an initially disordered system

Comprehension
The Art systems created by Tom Davis are a little confusing to me. I have an understanding of His storm, however Excuse Me! I feel isn't defined enough for me to understand. I am unsure how it is set up in order to achieve its results.
I suppose I'm still a little hazy on what makes a system complex. It also could be that Davis' article seemed a little dry information wise. Despite this though, It was fascinating to read his take on complexity.

"
So, the works of these two painters can stand for two different ontologies. One entails a dualism
of the human and the nonhuman, a detachment from and domination of the latter by the former,
and an erasure of time; the other entails an immediate symmetrical engagement between the
human and the nonhuman and an intrinsically temporal becoming in that engagement"
(New Ontologies, Andrew Pickering).  
Ontology: The study of Nature and Being.
