Hybrid thinking in a perpetual state of learning


“It thus can be said to be situated in between order and disorder, or, using a recently fashionable expression, "on the edge of chaos".”_ F. Heylighen



1996

Complexity is a term that gives identity to a system of parts or the function of assemblage. It creates a mode in which a method of absorbing or acquiring knowledge is possible. Through this new path of thinking your mind can collaborate previous ideas and current ideas into a useable unit. Simultaneously it is the juxtaposition of one part or idea to another that creates an interdependent existence. From this interdependence there emerges a new idea or a hybrid system that is more versatile and more apt to handle its purpose. Complexity can be further seen as an evolutionary process that reacts to its surroundings. As one element is added to the sequence of previous elements, it creates a system that is needed to adapt to. As this occurs, complex solutions are formed to provide for the people or the structure it entails.
