Proposes a mathematical definition of complexity based on correlations in many-element systems, suggesting a framework for understanding complexity.
On the basis of the correlations of distant—in time and/or in space—elements of a many-element system, we propose the hard core of a mathematical definition of what may be referred to as complexity. This definition consistently leads to the concept of degree of complexity.
