"Neither order nor chaos seems to be the best place for complex systems—whether their
agents are implemented using software, hardware, machines, or people. Instead, such
agent systems need to be someplace in between. With too much order, the system
stagnates and dies in the face of new competition that needs to be only a little bit better.
With too much chaos, the system will not survive because it can not make useful
products. The edge of chaos is on average where fitness is best."
