Albert-László Barabási et al have discovered that you can simplify complex systems because "The nodes that form the foundation of the map reveal themselves as indispensible to understanding any other part of the whole." That is, the necessary nodes for the network are sufficient for understanding the workings of the network. This is a very exciting development, as it makes complexity easier to understand.
