Abstract

"Complex systems theory" deals with the relationship between system components, collective behaviors in it and the quality of its interaction with the environment and expresses irregular, nonlinear, unpredictable, and complex behaviors in systems and assumes a finite order pattern in all of these irregularities; That is, the existence of drastic changes, irregular behaviors, unpredictable changes, critical movements, etc., which, Although they are chaotic, they have a regular pattern in the long-term and with repetition. In the study, by criticizing Khosrow and Shirin's narrative based on the theory of complex systems by qualitative analysis, the unpredictability of its events is analyzed and with emphasis on the interactions between the components of the story, their identity and the system as a whole and its chaos is determined. The richness and variety of actions and interactions Among the many independent variables, self-organization, adaptability to maintain their survival and interests, and impact on the environment, are key elements of this system that make it possible to apply this theory in its analysis. Khosrow and Shirin narrates the love and union of Khosrow and Shirin, but the murder of one, and the suicide of the other, make it romantic and poetic. From a systemic point of view, Khosrow's chaotic behavior in his marriage to Maryam and Shekar and Farhad and Shirin's suicide can be considered as systems with unpredictable and irregular behaviors that the function of each is an attempt to create the desired situation and, in a systemic sense, balance with the environment.
