I started studying Complex Adaptive System (CAS), while I had a dream of learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) in my mind. When I started I knew that this program differs from (classical) AI, which comes from the Von Neumann model of computation [1], but still there was something in it that pushed me forward. What I have studied in CAS, regarding AI, was much closer to the intelligence in biological systems, e.g. behavior-based AI. [to be continued ]
