Definition(s)

  • Complexity theory or the science of complexity is the label for a collection of theories that are building blocks for a system-oriented approach to (social) reality. This body of theories challenges the ideas of linearity and order and focuses on nonlinearity, interconnectivity, unpredictability, and the major impact that may be caused by seemingly insignificant factors.
