For every flat ontology of any sort, there is a corresponding scale problem that comes back to bite it someday.
That's a difficult question. How much are you well-versed in the area of applied math? If you want to go easy just read Philosophy of Complex Systems.

Lyapunov and Anosov in dynamic system analysis are considered to be two annoying abut essential references. You can easily get a gist of their work but if you like the detailed info, you should absolutely know some basics.

It sounds like I should practice literacy on some kind of calc textbook and then wade through their papers when the notation feels a bit more second nature

My background currently: - Layman's complexity theory - Group theory - linear algebra - topology (mostly nonmetric and point-set) - Functional programming - Category theory - theory of computation I was a skeptic of chaos-fatalism so your bit on lyapunov in I&S struck a chord

These are all good and helpful arsenals, but that's not sufficient. You essentially need a little bit of dynamic system math. It's not that difficult, it just requires a bit of familiarization.
