Question 1

Which of the following is a characteristic of a group according to Erpenbeck?
* (A) emotional resonance and well-being of all individuals
* (B) members share a certain agreement or purpose
* (C) continuity
* (D) individual emotions

Choose at least 1

Answer 1

In a group:
* members share a certain agreement or purpose
* continuity

M. Erpenbeck

Question 2

Members of a group share a certain agreement or purpose - True or False?

Answer 2

True - members of a group share a certain agreement or purpose (Erpenbeck)

An example of this could be a sports team like volleyball.

Question 3

Continuity is a characteristic of a group - True or False?

Answer 3

True - continuity is a characteristic of a group (Erpenbeck)

Continuity suggests ongoing interaction among group members.

Question 4

Individual emotions are a characteristic of a group - True or False?

Answer 4

False

While emotions may be present, they are not a defining characteristic of a group.

Question 5

Humans deal with complex systems by trying to comprehend the underlying logic and asking experts - True or False?

Answer 5

True - humans deal with complex systems by trying to comprehend the underlying logic and asking experts (Kruse)

This approach helps in understanding complex systems better.

Question 6

Non-trivial (living) systems can be described as what?

Answer 6

Non-trivial (living) systems can be described as a black box.

This means they have inputs and outputs, but their internal workings are not fully understood.

Question 7

Non-trivial (living) systems are predictable in their responses - True or False?

Answer 7

False - non-trivial (living) systems are UNpredictable in their responses in the sense of ‘true’ or ‘false’

They are often unpredictable, making them complex to study.

Question 8

Non-trivial (living) systems can be described as a function f(x)=y - True or False?

Answer 8

False - trivial machines can be described as a function f(x)=y

Such systems cannot be reduced to simple functional relationships.

Question 9

Non-trivial (living) systems are paradoxes in the sense of logic - True or False?

Answer 9

True - non-trivial (living) systems are paradoxes in the sense of logic.

They often exhibit behaviors that contradict straightforward logical analysis.

Question 10

Humans deal with complex systems by trial and error - True or False?

Answer 10

True - humans deal with complex systems by trial and error

P.Kruse

Question 11

Humans deal with complex systems by focusing on a few details - True or False?

Answer 11

True - humans deal with complex systems by focusing on a few details

P. Kruse

Question 12

Humans deal with complex systems by ignoring them - True or False?

Answer 12

True - humans deal with complex systems by ignoring them

P. Kruse

Question 13

Humans deal with complex systems due to Kruse by
* (A) trial and error
* (B) focusing on a few details
* (C) trying to comprehend the underlying logic (and asking experts)
* (D) ignoring them

Answer 13

Yes, humans deal with complex systems by
* (A) trial and error
* (B) focusing on a few details
* (C) trying to comprehend the underlying logic (and asking experts)
* (D) ignoring them
