Abstract

In this chapter we go deeply into the structure of dynamic complexity which will then be explained in Chap 15 using mathematics. In this way, this chapter primes the reader for later chapters that describe how dynamic complexity can be understood to solve business challenges and becomes more than just a topic that sits in a corner of academia because the mathematics presented have practical application.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
