Abstract

Synopsis

1. The 21st century is the time of complexity. We delineate it and its importance as necessary to solve ‘wicked problems.’

2. Inherently transdisciplinary, trans-scale, and interconnected to living systems, the solution to Heliophysics’ identity crisis and to unlock the next generation of scientific discovery may be to embrace complexity.

3. With the right foresight, direction, and incentive over the next ten years, Heliophysics can become a beacon for how all of society thinks about and does complexity science.
