Abstract
A complex system often consists of components that weakly interact with each other but are not negligible. Simon named such a system near decomposable system and proposed the propositions of near decomposability, which interprets the behaviors of many complex systems. The underlying assumption is that all observers share a unified cognition paradigm: bottom-up aggregation. This chapter extends the research object to a dual system consisting of the observed complex system and the memory of the system, proposes new propositions considering the integrity of representation and a semantic emerging structure, verifies the propositions and the emerging rules through text summarization, and proposes new principles regarding ...
