A slightly different view of complexity

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a different approach to understanding the concept of complexity and its relation to various phenomena in the field of physics [1-6]. A unique definition of complexity does not yet exist. Complexity Cmp was calculated in three systems simulated in computational experiments. In the first simulation a body in free fall was observed while falling towards body of much greater mass. Second observed system was two bodies with different temperatures, and third system was crystals in crystallization chamber. Complexity increases when the temperatures of two bodies are equalized, when one body falls to another and the crystal grows from the solution. In crystal growth theory, there are also still some concerns about the growth of some types of crystals.
