Some definitions key on the question of the probability of encountering a given condition of a system once characteristics of the system are specified.

In Weaver’s view, complexity comes in two forms: disorganized complexity, and organized complexity. [2] Weaver’s paper has influenced contemporary thinking about complexity. [3]
