In the sciences in general, the phrase has come to refer to a metaphor that some physical, biological, economic and social systems operate in a region between order and disorder (characterized by randomness or chaos), where the [[Complexity|complexity]] is maximal. In this general case it describes a point of transition between order and chaos, between stable, solid, frozen and crystalline behavior on one side and unstable, chaotic and noisy behavior on the other side. The LINUX community for example is sometimes addressed as
