Computational mechanics, an approach to structural complexity, defines a process's causal states and gives a procedure … representations. Further results relate measures of randomness and structural complexity obtained from e-machines to those from … ergodic and information theories. …

We discuss the role of scale dependence of entropy/complexity and its relationship to component interdependence. The … complexity as a function of scale of observation is expressed in terms of subsystem entropies for a system having a description … in terms of variables that have the same a priori scale. The sum of the complexity over all scales is the same for any …

The present complexity approach is based on two assumptions: A1: measurability of deviations of outcomes with respect … to reference values; A2 : extension of A1 to multi-set analysis. Complexity is then defined in terms of multi …-set deviation compared to single-set ones; an interpretation is given in terms of information costs; examples show the relevance of …

information is low. More generally our results suggest a `negative cross interaction of complexity effects' and that the impact of …. Complexity-aversion on the other hand may imply that the value of a menu decreases with its cardinality. We present the results … alternative indexing-schemes before the saving period ends. The complexity of the different plans was manipulated in two ways: (1 …
