Abstract
Many complex systems exhibit fractal structures near the intermediate stages of phase transitions. Sometimes, these critical situations define the boundary between the deterministic order and the unpredictable chaos. According to the “Binary Theory of Everything”, this universal behaviour is due to the interaction between the catabolic-entropic decay of electromagnetic energy and the anabolic-negentropic increase of matter configuration.
