“…CASs demonstrate three main patterns of behavior: periodic dynamics, chaotic dynamics, and random dynamics (criticality) (Katerndahl, 2013). It is likely that the four systems described in this article went through such fluctuations in their behavior and converged or demonstrated synergies at a critical point.…”

The pandemic of The COVID-19 caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has changed global systems, at least temporarily. There is good evidence that the virus originated in wild animals around the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread to other areas and became a pandemic affecting almost all countries in the globe. This article explores the pandemic through a systems science approach and views it from the perspective of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It proposes a novel conceptualization where the pandemic emerges from four converging systems: the earth systems, the urbanocene (i.e. the urbanization processes and spaces that have become the main living space of the human species), the system of mobile humans and objects, and the virus with its potential to infect. Loss of biodiversity is an important change to the earth system that promotes the emergence of zoonotic infections. The infective virus and its transmissibility are other factors promoting the epidemic. The urbanocene has resulted in high densities of populations that facilitate the spread of epidemics. Finally, the hyper-connectivity of human species and physical objects it has produced (e.g. planes and cargo) and their movement across thousands of miles often from city to city has promoted widespread dissemination of the virus. As the underlying systems evolved in parallel, a critical point was reached which resulted in synergies that led to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Examples illustrating this fallacy include: policies promoting widespread implementation and use of health information technology tend to be framed with the assumption that large investments made in health information technology will result in proportionately large improvements in health care quality or savings, which is not always the case [2]; the tumour response to chemotherapy in general and the response of increasing dosages of chemotherapy in particular have shown no proportional relationship to survival [3,4]; and intimate partner violence has long been seen as ‘one entity’, however research has shown that intimate partner violence shows at least three different patterns of triggers and response. Successful treatments require an understanding of the different dynamics and respective dynamic‐adaptive treatment approaches [5]. Table provides further examples of clinical and health system non‐linear phenomena.…”

Multimorbidity and chronic disease are the end results of ongoing perturbations and interconnected activities of simpler substructures that collectively constitute the complex adaptive superstructure known as us, the person or patient. Medical interventions cause perturbations of many different subsystems within the patient, hence they are not limited to the person's bodily function, but also affect his general health perception and his interactions with his external environments. Changes in these domains inevitably have consequences on body function, and close the feedback loop of illness/disease, recovery and regained health.
