Evidence from several fields suggests that Dual Phase Evolution (DPE) may account for distinctive features associated with complex adaptive systems. We review empirical and theoretical evidence for DPE in natural systems and examine the relationship of DPE to other complexity theories such self-organised criticality and adaptive cycles.
