There also may be thresholds as we increase the heterogeneity in a system that cause transitions into new forms of behavior. For example, the introduction of just a bit of heterogeneity into a homogeneous world may substantially alter the system’s behavior. Moreover, as we further increase the amount of heterogeneity in the system, we might see yet another transition as the additional heterogeneity begins to homogenize the system. Perhaps it is the case that, as we increase heterogeneity, we move from simple systems to complicated ones back to simple ones.
