The science of XX-th century bring up the importance of theMan in the metabolism of the socio-economical system (GAIAvision)
- The science of Complex Systems that define anonlinear approach on Reality ( fractals, chaos theory, dissipative systems, constructal theory etc.)
- Computational science (or scientific computing ) thatcreate extraordinary tools for the modeling and simulations of the
dynamic and evolutions of real objects- Quantum physics, Cognitive Science focus on the
importance of the Observer and his intentionality on the evolution ofthe Reality
- The science of Mind a new approach on the study ofthe Consciousness and Free Will
Breakthroughs of XX-th century

Latin word complexus , signifies "entwined", "twisted together". This maybe interpreted in the following way: in order to have a complex you need two ormore components, which are joined in such a way that it is difficult to separate
them. Similarly, the Oxford Dictionary defines something as "complex" if it is"made of (usually several) closely connected parts".

Fractal antennas
Fractal antenna theory uses a fractalgeometry that is a natural extensionof Euclidian geometry.
The geometry of the fractal antenna isa candidate for a multiband solution and also as a small (physical size)antenna . We expect that a self-similarantenna (which contains many copiesof itself at several scales) operate in asimilar way at several wavelengths.

The plastic number
In mathematics , the plastic number (also known as the plastic constant ) is a mathematical
constant which is the unique real solution of the cubic equation
It has the value [2]
its decimal expansion begins with 1.324717957244746025960908854....
The plastic number is also sometimes called the silver number

The nameplastic number (het plastische getal inDutch) was given to this number in 1928 by DomHans van der Laan. Unlike the names of thegolden ratioandsilver ratio, the word plastic was notintended to refer to a specific substance, but rather in its adjectival sense, meaning somebe given a three-dimensional shape

we cut from V1 (n), a parallelipipedicvolume:
whose projection in 0x 1xn plan is a square. The remaining volume,denotedby C 1 (n) is defined as:

In these conditions,
Quantitative relationship between the parts resulting from this iterative algorithm(analogous from our adopted model in the transition from the 2D in 3D) is:
and lead to determine the n- dimensional "golden number in a similar manner to that defined in the transition from 2D to 3D

c) The harmonic mean of the sides of a golden volume, generated in n-dimensional space:
