Abstract

Evidence from several fields suggests that dual phase evolution (DPE) may contribute to distinctive features associated with complex adaptive systems. Here, we review empirical and theoretical evidence for DPE in natural systems and discuss the relationship of DPE to self-organised criticality and adaptive cycles. We describe a general model for DPE in networks, and present preliminary data illustrating the emergence of phase changes.
