The Benefits
Life is about creation.  This ability of life to
create itself is captured in the Greek word,
autopoiesis (meaning self-production or self-making.

Autopoiesis is life's fundamental process for creating
and renewing itself, for growth and change.
"A living system is a network of processes
in which every process contibutes to all other processes.
The entire network is engaged together in producing itself."

Capara
Do not try and make complicated things simple.  
But not not make simple things complicated.

Clare W. Graves
You cannot get your head to work if
your heart's not working first.

Dr A. Curran
Fractals 
Fractals are complex by virtue of their infinte detail and unique mathematical properties
(no two factals are the same), yet they're simple because they can be generated through successive applications of simple iterations...It's a brand new reductionism...utterly unlike the old reductionism, which seeks complexity as build up out of simple forms, as an intricate bulding is made out of a few simple shapes or bricks.
Here the simple iteration in effect liberates the complexity hidden within it, giving access to creative potential.
The equation isn't the plot of a shape ... rather, the equation provides the starting point for evolving feedback.

Briggs and Peat.
Chaos
When a system  is nonlinear and webbed
with feedback loops, repetition feeds the 
change back on itself, causing it to amplify and grow.
Strange Attractors
The system suddenly takes off
in unexpected directions or 
responds in surprising ways.
Chaos is order 
without predictability.

T. J. Cartwright
From classical science, our culture has come to believe that small differences average out,
that slight variances converge toward a point, and that approximations can give a fairly
accurate picture of what might happen.  But chaos theory exposes the  nonlinear 
dynamics, which in no way resemble the neat charts and figures we have drawn so skillfully.
