Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, at places like the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe Institute, Artificial Life experiments by Christopher Langton, Thomas Ray, Christoph Adami, and many others dovetailed with the development of nonlinear dynamical systems theory, with the result that one of the most innovative theory-practice relay systems in contemporary science and technology was constituted. More specifically, this relay system arose from a novel conjunction of computer simulation with the formation of a theoretical framework within which nonstandard theories of computation (or information processing), dynamical systems theory, and adaptation in evolutionary theory could be articulated into a new unity. As one consequence, practitioners and theorists alike could entertain the hope that complex systems theory—or Complexity Theory, as this framework has come to be called—might be able to resolve contradictions between theories of structure and theories of change.
