-	Lever points in a [[Complex_Adaptive_System\|complex adaptive system]] are according to John H. Holland points at which a small effort can produce a desired, directed effect. At these points the complex system ~~makes a critical transition~~. They are similar to Gell-Mann's [[Frozen_Accident\|frozen accidents]].	+	Lever points in a [[Complex_Adaptive_System\|complex adaptive system]] are according to John H.
