    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_of_chaos

    Even though the idea of the edge of chaos is an abstract one, it has many applications in such fields as ecology, [3] business management, [4] psychology, [5] political science, and other domains of the social sciences. Physicists have shown that adaptation to the edge of chaos occurs in almost all systems with feedback.
