Complexity in Big History. An Introductory Exploration
Journal of Big History. 2025. Vol. 8. No. 3. P. 98–139.
Building on foundational work in systems theory, thermodynamics, and evolutionary theory, this paper argues that complexity can serve as a conceptual bridge across disciplines. It explores the role of complexity dynamics in Big History through an integrative theoretical framework that spans physical, chemical, geological, biological, social, cognitive, and civilizational domains. By examining how complexity emerges, is sustained, and transforms across thresholds, as well as in different directions and dimensions, we seek to unify seemingly disparate phenomena under shared principles of selforganization, energy flow, and information processing. The aim is not to impose a rigid definition, let alone paradigm, but to offer a flexible, empirically grounded understanding of complexity, which may pave way to creation of a model that deepens our comprehension of the universe, its self-development and our place within it.

The Izborsky Club positions itself as a "synthesis of Russian statists <...> from socialists and Soviet pa-triots to monarchists and Orthodox conservatives" and aims to unite representatives from diverse statist nationalist movements. The internal heterogeneity of Russian nationalism presents a challenge to the Izborsky Club's goal of developing a "new tradition", which involves constructing a ...

Political polarization is the phenomenon inseparably linked to Donald Trump's political activities since 2015. According to some researchers that polarization was the reason for Trump's victory in the elections. Others argue that polarization has grown because of Trump, and that the US population was much more united before his emergence on the political scene. In ...

Amidst the overarching imperative for a common foreign policy within the European Union, the long-term challenge to its implementation regarding the People’s Republic of China is the level of intra-Union unity. Special attention in this context is drawn to the case of Hungary, which not only contests the fundamental parameters of the EU foreign policy but also actively develops multifaceted relations with ...

Понимание российского внешнеполитического поведения вновь обретает осо-бую значимость не только в рамках конфликта на Украине и взаимоотношений со странами мирового большинства и меньшинства, но и в контексте изменяющегося мироустройства. Прежняя глобалистская модель стремительно сходит с авансце-ны международных отношений, возвращая, по сути, мир к структурным базовым настройкам соперничества между несколькими крупными державами. Россия яв-ляется одной из ...

Redistricting is an important tool of political struggle, distinguished
by several features that set it apart from other methods of creating a non-competitive electoral advantage: secrecy and non-provocativeness. These characteristics have led to significant scholarly attention, primarily focused on the
political consequences of redistricting. However, the administrative and legal
aspects of redistricting remain less studied, which may limit ...

The study examines the image of Russia in Finland’s historical policy in the context of the country’s accession to NATO. The aim is to identify shifts in the interpretation of Russia’s role in the Finnish political elite’s understanding of its own past, shared Russian–Finnish and global history. To this end, the analysis focuses on President ...

The movement of effective altruism, which emerged at the beginning of the 21st century, represents a new form of utilitarian philosophy that has had a significant impact on Anglo-American philosophical thought in the 19th and 20th centuries. A key feature of effective altruism is its emphasis on practicality. The movement positions itself as an entity ...

Tis paper presents a novel approach to analyzing and grouping natural languages based on the degree of their chaoticity. It clusters 52 languages from 18 language families, according to the value of the entropy–complexity pair, to reveal the chaotic properties of semantic trajectories. Te obtained clusters appear to be closely correlated with the family of ...

In the present article, the quantifiers over propositions are first introduced into the language for reasoning about probability, then the complexity issues for validity problems dealing with the corresponding hierarchy of probabilistic sentences are investigated. We prove, among other things, the $\Pi^1_1$-completeness for the general validity and also indicate the least level in the hierarchy ...

The paper contains a survey on the complexity of various truth hierarchies arising in Kripke’s theory. I present some new arguments, and use them to obtain a number of interesting generalisations of known results. These arguments are both relatively simple, involving only the basic machinery of constructive ordinals, and very general. ...

We introduce infinitary action logic with exponentiation — that is, the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus extended with Kleene star and with a family of subexponential modalities, which allow some of the structural rules (contraction, weakening, permutation). The logic is presented in the form of an infinitary sequent calculus. We prove cut elimination and, in the case ...

Infinitary action logic can be naturally expanded by adding exponential and subexponential modalities from linear logic. In this article we shall develop infinitary action logic with a subexponential that allows multiplexing (instead of contraction). Both non-commutative and commutative versions of this logic will be considered, presented as infinitary sequent calculi. We shall prove cut admissibility ...

This paper is concerned with a two-sorted probabilistic language, denoted by QPL, which contains quantifiers over events and over reals, and can be viewed as an elementary language for reasoning about probability spaces. The fragment of QPL containing only quantifiers over reals is a variant of the well-known ‘polynomial’ language from [Fagin et al. 1990, Section 6]. ...

We shall be concerned with two natural expansions of the quantifier-free ‘polynomial’ probability logic of [Fagin et al. 1990]. One of these, denoted by QPL-e, is obtained by adding quantifiers over arbitrary events, and the other, denoted by p-QPL-e, uses quantifiers over propositional formulas — or equivalently, over events expressible by such formulas. The earlier proofs ...
