A proposition is made for scientific substantiation of “Primary respiration” and related concepts, including suggestions for future research. For research and support, the field of mathematics, artificial intelligence, chaos theory and complex systems thinking can be of fundamental and essential value.

The fast developments of (complex) systems thinking cannot be understood without taking the cultural and philosophical context into consideration. In this article, An attempt is made to explain the foundation of thriving CHINESE systems thinking, because China seems to fully undertand the significance and importance of thinking (and engineering) systemically. The conclusion of the paper is two-pronged: (a) the Chinese have been system thinkers (or pattern seekers) from the very beginning of their turbulent history and (B) Western system thinkers, who disagree with each other on many fronts, could, nay should learn something from ancient China, particularly from that amazing, almost forgotten classical book called the Yijing, a book about systems science in a nutshell.

Chaos theory and complexity theory, collectively known as nonlinear dynamics or dynamical systems theory, provide a mathematical framework for thinking about change over time. Chaos theory seeks an understanding of simple systems that may change in a sudden, unexpected, or irregular way. Complexity theory focuses on complex systems involving numerous interacting parts, which often give rise to unexpected order. The framework that encompasses both theories is one of nonlinear interactions between variables that give rise to outcomes that are not easily predictable. This entry provides a nonmathematical introduction, discussion of current research, and references for further reading.
