L. DOUGLAS KIEL proposes to label in this way a methodological framework which already includes a variety of theories as for instance nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. (1992, p.28).
He could add self-organization in nonequilibrium systems (PRIGOGINE et al); networks theory (RUMELHART and Mc CLELLAND); catastrophes theory (THOM and ZEEMAN); synergetics (HAKEN); Hypercycles theory (EIGEN); fractals (MANDELBROT) and possibly some more.
