Complexity takes place on the other side of the Bridge. Here the Dreamer’s narrative recedes into the background.

The storyline follows fictional characters, beginning with college students encountering Complexity Theory. Their conversations and actions unfold dimensions of the Theory that offer hope and suggest guidelines for making the changes necessary for a future on this planet:

the Butterfly-Wing Effect — with its implication that the least action can produce tremendous change;

the Principle of Self-Organization — with its indication that individual constituents of a system generate change, rather than it being imposed from above or coming from outside;

the Description of a Phase Transition. — that a system can completely transform, despite how unbelievable that Change may seem before it happens.

Complexity is a tale of the Creation of a Utopia, told in vignettes from here to there.
