Abstract: This paper presents a paradigm of the new dynamic characteristics of Nature according to the importance of the effect of the elements that compose it. This paradigm is based on the paradigm of complex systems. These have been considered in numerous works in many disciplines. The heuristic significance of complex systems is high. The paradigm of complex systems supports the idea according to which a system oscillates between instability and organization, which leads, by emergence and self- organization, to a new system that is highly sustainable and adaptable. This brings us however to the system. These aspects are discussed in the research note as are the future and epistemological implications.
Keywords: non-linear complex systems, complexity, adaptation, nature, variability
