        At the core of Icosystem's approach are concepts derived from complexity science, which 
        had its origins in the study of non-linear phenomena at MIT and Los Alamos National 
        Laboratory, popularized under the name of "chaos theory." The sciences of complexity are a 
        relatively new but natural way to understand the world.

        Prior to the emergence of complexity science, the traditional scientific approach to 
        natural phenomena, popular since Newton's time, was reductionism, which reduces a system 
        to its constituent parts. The reductionist approach is the classical approach to solving 
        business problems, where the constituent parts of a system are understood and changed in 
        isolation before recombination into the whole. Often, this method yielded positive results 
        for certain scenarios.

        However today's increasingly interconnected economic ecosystems require in-depth 
        understanding of the inter-relationships among the parts in order to develop a coherent 
        and successful strategy. For this reason, Icosystem uses complexity science as the 
        foundation for its approach.
