The transdisciplinary nature of science as a whole became evident as the necessity for the complex nature of phenomena to explain social and life science, along with the physical sciences, blossomed into complexity theory and most recently into complexitysynchronization. This science motif is based on the scaling arising from the 1/f-variability in complex dynamic networks and the need for a network of networks to exchange information internally during intra-network dynamics and externally during inter-network dynamics. The measure of complexity adopted herein is the multifractal dimension of the crucial event time series generated by an organ network, and the difference in the multifractal dimensions of two organ networks quantifies the relative complexity between interacting complex networks. Information flows from dynamic networks at a higher level of complexity to those at lower levels of complexity, as summarized in the 'complexity matching effect', and the flow is maximally efficient when the complexities are equal. Herein, we use the scaling of empirical datasets from the brain, cardiovascular and respiratory networks to support the hypothesis that complexity synchronization occurs between scaling indices or equivalently with the matching of the time dependencies of the networks' multifractal dimensions.
随着解释社会科学、生命科学以及物理科学中复杂现象的必要性不断显现,科学作为一个整体的跨学科性质变得愈发明显,进而发展出复杂性理论,最近又演变成复杂性同步。这种科学模式基于复杂动态网络中1/f 变异性所产生的标度,以及在网络内部动态过程和网络间动态过程中,网络之网络进行内部信息交换和外部信息交换的需求。本文采用的复杂性度量是器官网络生成的关键事件时间序列的多重分形维数,两个器官网络多重分形维数的差异量化了相互作用的复杂网络之间的相对复杂性。信息从较高复杂程度的动态网络流向较低复杂程度的动态网络,这就是“复杂性匹配效应”的总结,当复杂性相等时,信息流效率最高。在此,我们利用来自大脑、心血管和呼吸网络的经验数据集的标度,来支持这样一个假设,即复杂性同步发生在标度指数之间,或者等效地说,发生在网络多重分形维数的时间依赖性匹配之时。
