家园 smaller is not necessarily

better.

if we try to analyze things too closely, we risk not understanding how they work on a macro level. In many cases, the whole exhibits properties that can't be explained by the behavior of its parts. As Laughlin points out, we use computers and internal combustion engines every day, but scientists don't totally understand why all of their parts work the way they do

这本书很值得一读 A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down

另外,还可以看看Rule 110 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110

这是一个有意思的例子解释了原理并不能预测结果的道理,这本书叫《A New Kind of Science》 by Wolfram.
