Summary The most important characteristic of the G??world filled with nonlinearityG?? is the existence of scale interference: disparate spaceG??time scales interfere with each other. Thus, the effects of unknowable scales invade the world that we can observe directly. This leads to various peculiar phenomena such as chaos, critical phenomena, and complex biological phenomena, among others. Conceptual analysis and phenomenology are the keys to describe and understand phenomena that are subject to scale interferenc
