The root of complication is
from the Latin word complexus that means twisted together or entwined. The
complication system with two or more component or variable is interpreted by
Ireland in 2007. The complication can be detected by different methods and it
depends upon the observer's standpoint, therefore, the estimated level of
complication is different for all the observer at the simple point
(Flückinger&Rauterberg, 1995). Due to different perspectives, a commonly
agreed definition of complication is not existing. Edmonds (1998) stated the
definition of complication as " features and properties of the language
expressions that make it difficult to analyze the overall behavior of complication
even on provided complete information about the interrelations and the atomic
level of components" (Edmonds, 1998, p. 6). In the present definition, language can be
described with different features such as atomic definitions, diagrams, and
irreducible signs with formal logic (Edmonds, 1998). The definition provided by Edmonds was
altered and modified by Alisch, Winter, And Arentzen (2004). The comprehensible
definition of complications include the characteristics of a system and overall
behavior cannot be explained easily. All the basic information about a single
component and its behavior is not present always (Alisch, Winter,
&Arentzen, 2004). The general theory of complication explains different
explicit functions and certain polymorphic definitions are provided in the
literature while according to the definitions, the characterized features are
different for complication. Features of complication include increasing
application with non-transparency, continuous momentum, and motion, a large
number of elements, irreversible and considerable restrictions on different
elements, adaptivity, and spontaneity of hierarchy (Ehrlenspiel, 2009; Feess,
2013; Pruckner, 2005; Schwarz, 2011; Valle, 2000).
THEORY
Different phenomena of
complication are described and explained by these theories.
System Theory
The system theory deals with
different principles as well as disciplines and all of them are
indistinguishable from each other. But a divergence existed between several
disciplines and system theory target can be described on this basis Bertalanffy
(1968). The features of system theory are mentioned below,
It is supported by several types of integration at certain
disciplines.
The science beyond physics is explained according to the
accepted theory.
The system theory explains the development of the system on
critical perspectives and integrative science review.
It provides an explanatory model for abstraction and
simplification processes.
The support is provided for scientific generalists and teaching
processes.
Several scientist and authors
worked for the demonstration of system theory that was originated from the
scientific discipline. The process becomes a significant part of model science
in different branches of chemistry, psychology, biology, economics, and
engineering. All these mentioned fields are influenced by system theory. There
are two specific and significant paradigms that are discussed in the theory
(Pulm, 2004). The first consideration is about cybernetic moves that are monitored
and controlled through the self-control in the circle system. This process is
controlled by appropriate methods and gets the influence of the system by
applying a potential controlling system according to the standard theory. The
second consideration is about cybernetic order changes with the system
self-referential and reflexive system. The self-sustained and self-developed
environment is extremely valuable in this process. The process cannot be
controlled externally, and reserves cannot be predicted on the basis of
previous results. At the same time, the possibility of intervention is higher
for this process.
The development of system
theory is a continuous process and different types of theories have been
developed from the basic theory. It is difficult to define similarities between
the original system theory and implication theory. However, the management for
the practice implication of the target is different in both scenarios (Vemuri,
1978). In case of system theory, the complicated systems are often developed
and can be described on the basis of characterizing features. By adding more
elements and features the complication of the system can be accelerated. It can
be used to increase the relationship between all the elements and system theory
composes of different complicated systems.
Complication Theory
The complication theory
describes different features, but it is not available for the back coupling
relationship as well as linear relations of the system. The system illustrates
different types of asymmetric structures that are partly controllable and partly
non-controllable. Furthermore, the elements of this system are irreducible,
therefore, the system action cannot be predicted on the basis of the process
(Johns, 2008). It is necessary to control the complicated system by a
decentralized method. The manipulation of variables and other breakdown systems
could lead to failure (Johns, 2008).
Different characteristics of completed systems can be defined by basic
definitions provided by Johns (2008).
These characteristics of completed systems are mentioned below,
A large number of variables and elements are interrelated
with each other.
The external and internal back coupling is non-linear.
It is impossible to change the lapse of time.
It is possible to change different statuses at certain
levels of time.
It relies on past features, but these features are not
analytically definable.
The features are measurable and definable with a large range
of variety
The complication theory leads
to a well-defined system that requires resources at a minimum amount and it can
be managed easily. In case if the available resources are minimum than
difficulties cannot be solved easily. The advance system predicts success and
practical influence of application is considered in this feature (Wegener,
2003). The complication theory stands between chaos theory and order
consideration. In 2003, Wegener argued about the appearance of complication and
phase transition between chaos and order. The system can be controlled for
proper completion.
Chaos Theory
There are two features of
complication theory that includes order consideration and chaos. Chaos theory
is basically a subcategory that is associated with the system theory. It
includes some types of internal instabilities and results in loss of organizational
features. However, it can be used for the reorganization process along with
different features of the module of the organization (Valle, 2000). Chaos can
be defined with different definitions but there is no general agreement of the
scientific community about the characteristics of a chaotic system. Different
academic fields are associated with chaos theory and these academic fields
include mathematics, physical sciences, and life sciences. Valle demonstrated
chaos theory as a qualitative study for a deterministic nonlinear dynamic
system with unstable behavior. In this consideration, the complete system is
considered with simple causes and nonlinearity results are obtained for
different inputs and outputs with no specific proportional. The system is
additive and non-conforming deterministic controls of the chaotic system define
situated behavior at random conditions with instability in the process. That
characteristics of the system become unpredictable and the output of the system
is basically dependent upon input. The system is unpredictable and it is not
possible to calculate the future behavior of the system even knowing about the
parameters. The definitions and predictions are possible with limited time
features (Cooke-Davies et al., 2007). Chaos theory can be explained on the
basis of butterfly effect that was first introduced by Edward Lawrence during
1979 and the paper was published in the American Association for the
advancement of science. In the paper, he described the significant effect of
minute changes on the lower nonlinear system and it becomes unpredictable
(Cooke-Davies et al., 2007). The "Lorenz attractor" can be defined as
a graphic illustration with the concept of butterfly images that have similar
visual perspective. The image reviews about the structures and hidden features
of disordered data streaming process. The 3d space required specific variables
intelligent system that is represented by continuously changing variable and
motion of the system (Cooke-Davies et al., 2007). According to the features,
the trajectory system cannot be repeated and it can never interact with each
other. Does the flap of a butterfly have a significant influence on the
weather? However, it is not possible to predict the weather in the long-term
analysis. The only possibility is to explain the behavior and to understand the
features of this behavior (Cooke-Davies et al., 2007).
Summary of Theories
All the above-mentioned
theories are interlinked with each other. The complication theory and chaos
theory is derived from specific system theory. The framework for all the three
theory is summarised as "cynefin" (Snowden, 2005). Both the system
theory and order theories are different approaches with complicated and simple
features. The first step is the observation of observer in different situations
and then analysis of this observation according to responding characteristics.
The complication theory can be used to resolve the problem, and different
situations can be investigated, tested, analyzed and responded according to the
conditions. Chaos theory can be used to describe situations that are not
manageable and unstable with specific product features. The general factor is
first analyzed and then responded according to the situation.
