The favoured explanation of the creation of the universe, where it is proposed that the universe was born in a rapid expansion, from a condition of ultra-high density (singularity).

Entropy refers to the fundamental behaviour of energy and matter in terms of its tendency toward increasing disorder (death/decay of energy and matter).

This is a systemic structure, which has similar detail (architecture), at all levels of granularity.

Refers to the capacity of a system to evolve in such a way as to approach a critical point and then maintain itself at that point.

A system is a group of interacting parts functioning as a whole and distinguishable from its surroundings by recognisable boundaries.

The process when a system changes from one state to another by gradual steps.

Almost like a desired or preferred position for the system.

Almost like a desired or preferred position for the system.

Autopoiesis refers to how entities recreate themselves and their world.

The Business Architecture Tool (BAT), being designed on the basis of Fractal Geometry, inherently have immense Robustness, as well as Flexibility, two seemingly contradictory qualities.

The point where a system splits into two possible behaviours.

The study of forever changing complex systems based on mathematical concepts of recursion.

Complexity theory is the study of the rules governing emergence, constraints facing self-organisation and system dynamics.

A point at which the system properties change very quickly or suddenly.

The science of control within a system.

The point where a system is neither in chaos nor equilibrium.

The property/s of system that cannot be observed from any of its constituent parts.

Refers to the terrain that systems traverse and encounter.

This is the regulation of critical variables to form a state of balance or equilibrium after being disturbed.

All things change - some we may not notice (like a rock/mountain) and tend to detect any statistically average properties.

A mathematical distribution of occurrences being studies.

The movement or evolution of a system toward an organised form in the absence of external constraints.
