1. Newtonian theory: Predictable (timeless, universal)
mechanisms of control, causes force effects
Field theory: unseen “presences” - gravity, magnetism,
electricity. Attraction - magnetism, charisma.
Chaos theory : unpredictability
Complexity/Systems theory: living systems - patterns
without predictability
Emergence theory: coherent and innovative community
behavior
Network theory: integrates previous theories
