AU Cas 8
Def Complexity/tradition/Luhmann: classical: because of the two concepts: element and relation.
Problem: with the increase of the number of elements not every element can be linked to another.
50s: E.g. circle structure
Problem: where is the threshold to overload?
Today/Luhmann: because of that, we can no longer work with the distinction simple/complex.
No complexity comparison is possible, because systems can be complex in several respects.
AU Cass 8
Complexity/Systems Theory/Luhmann: with the concept of operation (observation) we dissolve the two fundamental concepts of complexity: element and relation.
The element is the relation.
Instead of complexity: operational closure.
