What complexity science is, and why

Physics and Society 2022-01-12 v1

Abstract

This is an essay about understanding complexity science, via some peculiarities of the field, as a meeting place for a special kind of scientist. It comes out of my hobby of reading popular-science complex systems books, and builds on notes that have been collecting dust for almost a decade.
