Resumen en inglés | What is nowadays ubiquitously referred to as complexity emerges in a wide variety of natural, artificial, and social systems. This very rich concept is nontrivial to understand and is therefore hard to operationally define. Consequently, along the years, many intertwined characterizations have been proposed in the literature. Among those, a powerful and practical one consists in focusing on the entropic and statistical mechanical aspects of the system. We attempt here to put this active line of research into a contemporary perspective |
