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
