Abstract

Based on network theories, dynamic systems were previously thought to act randomly. However, it is now understood that they present particular signals pointing to characteristics of order and auto-organization (Barabási 2007). Discovering those signals of interaction within complex networks is then a challenge to these studies. In this work, while doing an analogy to the automotive industry, we explore the possibility to apply phase space tools to recognize patterns in a plot of data in dynamic systems, where deterministic chaos behaviour may occur. This behaviour is mainly related to decision-making within complex networks, where a tipping point situation can lead to dramatic changes in the otherwise stable system.
