The Width of Complexity Potential as an Integral Factor of Science

Abstract

Complex systems theory represents an umbrella term for various types of research that include dynamical systems, discrete dynamical systems and cellular automata, game theory, information theory, networks, computational complexity, numerical methods, agent based modeling and more. Looking at the originating and linking of the fields over the period of the last 60-70 years (taking, for example, cybernetics as the starting point) it is clear what kind of theoretical diversification we are talking about – the one that corresponds to the observed phenomena in natural as well as in social sciences.
