Overview

These examples demonstrate BERT's modeling capabilities across different types of systems. Each example includes a detailed walkthrough and can be loaded directly through the Model Browser feature in BERT v0.2.0.

Living systems and natural processes

  • A Cell - Foundation of life (Complexity: 16.2)

  • An Ecosystem - Complex biological networks (Complexity: 24.8)

Human organizations and coordination structures

Engineered and technical systems

  • A Solar Panel - Renewable energy system (Complexity: 15.6)

  • An LLM - Large language model system (Complexity: 28.3)

Systems that model systems and universal templates

Blockchain-based economic and governance systems

  • Coming soon: Bitcoin network analysis

Complexity Progression

The examples span a range of complexity scores using Simonian complexity calculations:

  1. Solar Panel (15.6) - Engineered energy conversion

  2. Cell (16.2) - Biological foundation

  3. System Template (18.4) - Universal principles

  4. BERT Platform (19.7) - Self-referential software system

  5. Organization (21.9) - Social coordination structure

  6. Ecosystem (24.8) - Complex adaptive biological system

  7. LLM (28.3) - Advanced artificial intelligence system

Each example demonstrates different aspects of systems science theory applied through BERT's visual modeling approach.
