Imagine you could figure out the rules of the base amino acids, nucleotides and RNA that were around 4.5b years ago on this rock - you could probably get to a decent simulation of understanding how multicellular life came to be.

Beyond that almost everything is a system with rules - bacteria, traffic, people, etc.

By putting in rules only, you can understand emergent behaviours in any system.
