Edge of chaos. "The truly creative changes and the big shifts occur right at the edge of chaos." [1] The edge of chaos is a transition space between order and disorder that is hypothesized to exist within a wide variety of systems. This transition zone is a region of bounded instability that engenders a constant dynamic interplay between order ...
