Possibility Space is a concept derived from complex systems theory, evoking the notion of a creative space of emergence within which new possibilities emerge. It is the space between potential actions and outcomes, and a set of generative properties that give us information about the potential range of possibilities and the potential paths of development. In this sense, Possibility Space acts as a way to understand our environment and the parameters of human behaviour. It is also a way to think about the influence of technology and other factors on our interaction with the world.
