Measuring complexity in organisms and organizations

Nancy Rebout et al.

Summary: The article introduces new metrics to quantify the complexity of living organisms and social organizations based on their levels of uncertainty and considers diversity, flexibility, and combinability as three major dimensions. These dimensions are quantified using Shannon's uncertainty formula to provide a tripartite complexity index. The indices distinguish themselves by a theoretical basis grounded on the amount of uncertainty, and the requirement that several aspects of the systems be accounted for to compare their degree of complexity.
