Complexity science evolved from the natural sciences. It studies organizational systems using theories and concepts such as chaos, non-linearity, complexity, and emergence (Geer-Frazier, 2014). Complex adaptive systems (CAS) are the core element of complexity science. These systems are a collection of individual influences and forces that feature unpredictability, self-regulation, and adaptability (Crowell, 2016). CAS are characterized as complex because they are multidimensional, interconnected

D. What are chaos and complexity theories? how might they help us do better sociology, or at least help us have more realistic understanding of what is possible in sociology?

Complexity Theory as Applied to Nursing, 2005 Abstract Many conventional ideas about the world we live in have been shaken to their foundations by the emerging concepts of chaos and complexity. Insights are now being gained from the application of complexity theory into phenomena varying in scale from the natural sciences such as biology to the concept of caring in the nurse-patient relationship. These new scientific ideas have significant implications for the theory and practice of nursing
