The recycling of resource by the aggregate behavior of a diverse array of agents is much more than the sum of the individual actions.
nonlinear interactions almost always make the behavior of the aggregate more complicated than would be predicted by summing or averaging. - John Henry Holland

If we are to understand the interactions of a large number of agents, we must first be able to describe the capabilities of individual agents. - John Henry Holland
