It allows nonlinear relationships, feedback loops, hierarchies, emergent properties and so on to be taken into account and Critical Systems Thinking has particularly problematised the issue of boundaries and their consequences for inclusion, exclusion and marginalisation ".

The nonlinear relationship between total length ( L, in inches ) and total weight ( W, in pounds ) for nearly all species of fish can be expressed by an equation of the form : W = cL ^ b \ ! \,

Complex adaptive systems characteristically demonstrate self-organization as diverse agents interact spontaneously in nonlinear relationships where professionals act as information processors ( Cilliers, 1998; McDaniel & Driebe, 2001 ) and co-evolve with the environment ( Casti, 1997 ).

Joshua Angrist and Victor Lavy ( 1999 ) have used " the nonlinear relationship between the local number of students and the class size predicted by Maimonides'rule to estimate the impact of class size on student performance, and evaluate the effect of being just below the number of students for whom an additional teacher would be brought up, and of being just above this number ."
