The domain of '''Anthro-complexity''', a subset<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CC8pSXGR-8&t=360s D. Snowden in "The Cynefin Wiki Announcement - Cynefin Community", Cynefin Community (YouTube video)</ref> of [[Naturalising sense-making]], is the world of ''homo-faber'', ''homo-ludens'' and ''homo-narrans'': of those who make things, play and tell stories - of beings who "''are not ants, or birds''." As such, the domain has been navigated and reflected upon for as long as direct perception has been shaped by distinctively human modes of sense-making.

The 21st Century school of Anthro-Complexity is an associated body of theory and practice which draws on natural science informed philosophical thinking (including, but not limited to, complex adaptive systems theory) in order to address questions of how humanity makes sense of this world in order to act within it. The term was coined as a contrast with computational complexity, the use of agent based models. Such approaches are seen as complimentary

Anthro-complexity is a way of framing the ordinary, everyday landscape of human interaction. As such, the domain is rooted in the sense-making realms within which ordinary people, everywhere, have always navigated (and may always continue to navigate) their ordinary, everyday lives. All associated "naturalised sense-making" theory and practice is expected to respect this level of self-understanding and to accept that many "system" mechanisms will neither be explained by the workings of all constituent elements (at a level below) nor grasped as a whole from an exterior vantage point (at a level above)[https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Complexity_and_Postmodernism/HnEx6FaO0MQC?hl=en&gbpv=1].

Dave Snowden references complexity as the "science of common sense" underscore the school’s commitment to the "ordinariness" of lived anthro-complexity[https://www.cognitive-edge.com/twelvetide-2009-manege-and-menage/]. Against a backdrop of "[[#dealing with uncertainty|dealing with uncertainty]]," practitioners have consistently sought to give "a theoretical understanding of what anyone with experience already knew." By understanding the ''why'' of what works we can scale the ''how''.
