The Birth of Novelty: A Causal and Nonlinear Perspective.
Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences 2023 January
How does novelty arise? While modern scholarly investigations show that new complex system paths arise due to dissipative structures post-bifurcation, few consider the subjectivity of the observer and fewer describe what can be deemed as truly novel in light of a causal chain of deterministic events. By investigating the 'problem of novelty' (i.e., how something can come from nothing) and adding a subjective appraisal process for a novelty threshold as per complex systems, this paper offers an alternative view of the birthplace of novelty. The findings reveal that novelty arises in a breach of causal normality described as a causal 'breakthrough,' and in a nonlinear 'transition zone' post-bifurcation between disordering and ordering, based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. The article offers a subjective approach to nonlinear dynamical self-organization considering both 'outliers' and 'low-recurrence' in a spatio-temporal perspective to determine what separates novelty from 'newness.' Four 'preconditions of novelty' (i.e., tension, competition, instability, and diversity) are also presented to clarify favourable conditions for novelty generation.
