1. The document discusses modularity thinking as a way to manage complexity in developmental biology that is not focused on problem solving. 2. It describes complexity management as traditionally involving reducing complexity or using systems to reduce complexity as problem solving approaches. 3. However, modularity thinking in biology allows managing complexity without necessarily solving problems by decomposing developmental systems into localized modules in a way that is not fully defined but still useful conceptually. This indicates complexity management extends beyond just problem solving.
