Non-linear Changes

Non-linear changes occur when a system's response or behavior does not follow a straight, predictable path as conditions change. Instead of increasing or decreasing steadily, the change can accelerate, slow down, or fluctuate unpredictably. For example, small adjustments in input might cause large, unexpected results, or vice versa. These changes are common in complex systems like weather patterns, economics, or biological processes, where relationships between factors are intricate and interconnected. Recognizing non-linear behavior helps better understand, predict, and manage systems that don’t follow simple, proportional patterns.
