It delves into diverse methodologies and theoretical frameworks to understand complex systems, particularly in the context of criminal investigation, linguistic analysis, and social science paradigms. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how complexity impacts these fields, offering insights into information processing, organizational theory, and the evolving relationship between complexity and virtual environments. Intended for scholars and practitioners in social sciences, humanities, and related disciplines, it presents a nuanced view of complexity as a transformative perspective in modern research.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aComplexity (Philosophy)$7Generated by AI 606 $aSocial sciences$7Generated by AI 615 0$aComplexity (Philosophy) 615 0$aSocial sciences 676 $a301 700 $aBriffaut$b Jean-Pierre$0965167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020278703321 996 $aComplexities 2$94417931 997 $aUNINA
