说明：  这是一本关于复杂性科学的书——这门学科还如此之新，其范围又如此之广，以至于还无人完全知晓如何确切地定义它，甚至还不知道它的边界何在。然而，这正是它的全部意义之所在。如果说，复杂性科学的研究领域目前尚显得模糊不清，那便是因为这项研究正在试图解答的是一切常规学科范畴无法解答的问题。
(This is a book on complexity science book- the subject is also so new that its scope is so wide, that no one has the full knowledge of how to define it precisely, and even do not know what its borders. However, this is the meaning of it all lies. If we say that the complexity of the field of scientific research becomes obscure at present, it is because the study is trying to answer all conventional subject areas have failed to answer the question.)
