1. How are patterns defined by the Systems Innovation video? How might patterns be defined in time as well as space? Give me some examples. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIp1kY0H0yw)

2. Describe the concepts of emergence and synergies, and try to illustrate them in the context of the natural sciences with a few examples.

3. What are some of the characteristics of long-tailed statistical distributions?

4. What is antifragility? Try to explain how it can be seen as different from resilience or robustness. Why might you think this concept is important in an era of climate change and pandemics?

5. What is agent-based modeling? How does it work? Can you think of some examples of how these sorts of models may help us to understand human behavior?
