Abstract Consider autonomous, discontinuous and non-linear change a constant factor in the transformative world we humans are part of: Heraclitus revisited. What seems to be stable is nothing more than a temporary period of persistence, a frozen moment within a dynamic world, the lee-side of a world in flow. As there is no permanent stability, tensions, frictions, mismatches and breaks occur more or less constantly. Such a situation is not necessarily undesirable. On the contrary, these tensions, frictions and mismatches prove to be essential for development and progress. This contribution will construct a frame of reference for such a world of discontinuous change, proposing ordering principles that can guide planners and decision-makers in a world of non-linear change.

动态变化世界中的排序原则——关于社会复杂性、转型以及平衡有目的的干预和自发变化的条件

摘要 将自主、不连续和非线性变化视为我们人类所在的变革世界中的一个恒定因素：重新审视赫拉克利特。看似稳定的无非是暂时的坚持，动态世界中的一个冻结时刻，流动世界的背风面。由于没有永久的稳定性，紧张、摩擦、不匹配和断裂或多或少会不断发生。这种情况不一定是不受欢迎的。相反，这些紧张、摩擦和不匹配被证明是发展和进步的必要条件。这一贡献将为这样一个不连续变化的世界构建一个参考框架，提出可以在非线性变化的世界中指导规划者和决策者的排序原则。
