p39 A working definition of "irreducibly complex". "a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. An irreducibly complex system cannot be produced directly ... by slight, successive modifications of a precursor system, because any precursor to and irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition non-functional."
