Samenvatting

The final of a four-part series that explores Dynamic Systems Theory (DST). DST has taught us that phase transitions are based on self-organization and that they are not predictable a priori. They can be described, but not explained. This is well established in physics, but not at all in the social sciences and everyday life. It also takes a lot of practice to learn to see dynamic systems in everyday life. A few examples are given.
