Thus, one is interested in a rather special kind of statistics, viz. the statistics of a dense population of interacting levels. This is the fundamental distinction between chaos and complexity there may arise situations in which levels do not necessarily all interact (they might have different quantum numbers) but are simply present in large numbers, so that their analysis is not possible in practice but could be performed in principle. These are called unresolved transition arrays (UTAs). One can develop [526] a theory of UTAs which yields general theorems about them as a whole. Such theories are a statistical approach to the interpretation of spectra, but are not related to the problem of quantum chaology. 

Whereas chaos and complex oscillations in the models studied here result from the interaction between two endogenous oscillators, in these experiments and in the associated models they result from the coupling between an endogenous oscillator and a periodic extem d source, as indicated by the analysis of normal forms for such a situation (Baesens Nicolis, 1983). Evidence for autonomous chaos has nevertheless been obtained in molluscan neurons (Holden et al, 1982 Hayashi Ishizuka, 1992).

There are a set of ideas and concepts that should serve as foundation principles for any futures institute. All students should be schooled in the simple concepts of chaos and complexity theory. With the inability to predict specific outcomes and control standard processes (as in the past), all people must learn how to think about and participate in nonlinear processes of uncertainty, using generative dialogue to help solutions appear. This is called emergence, and is a key concept of integral science. Other ideas related to chaos and complexity become important for people to understand how to deal with a constantly changing society.
