A complex system, such as a plasma or a system of self-gravitating particles, shows collective behavior. Thus, the evolution of one particle strongly depends on the evolution of the other particles in the medium. This collective behavior is actually the consequence of multiple interactions between a large number of particles and the fields they generate (electric and magnetic fields for a plasma or the gravitational field for systems of self-gravitating particles). Thus, the movement of each particle has the consequence of modifying fields, which in turn influences the trajectory of all particles, thus generating a modification of fields, and so on.
