Science‐wide complexity theory presents strange attractors as lawful outcomes of nonlinear functions. The time‐event matrices used by Streufert and associates to depict human information processing in complex task environments have similar characteristics. The use and construction of these matrices is described. The technique may be useful across sciences to depict the consequences of complex phenomena.
