The phrase
"complex phenomenon" refers to something that is intricate or difficult to understand because it involves many factors, variables, or processes working together.

complex a phenomenon as theological education as «the seminary,» the world of theological schooling is more uniform and standardized than the world of the church.

simulating complex phenomena, only Darwin's approach shows how certain complex systems not only arise but also adapt over time to the constraints imposed by their environment, as living systems do.

complex phenomena using a very, very simple configuration,» says Smolyaninova.
«In part this is due to the fact that I'm trying to describe some
pretty complex phenomena, and thankfully, quite a few scholars and journalists have gone before me.
Someone comes up with a new framing for how the world works and tests that conception (where possible) through experimentation, observation, analysis and (for
complex phenomena without comparable control cases) simulation.
That was not because of the amount, but because of the complexities of climate and understanding the limit of turning what is a
ridiculously complex phenomenon into some algebraic equation with an infinite number of possible input combinations.
Key challenges, therefore, will be to increasingly: 1) interrogate extreme events in climate simulations; 2) use earth system models to disentangle the complex and multiple controls on proxies; 3) adopt multi-proxy approaches to
constrain complex phenomena; and 4) increase the spatial coverage of such records, especially in arid regions, which are currently under - represented.

highly complex phenomena.
