The phrase 'complexity science' first appears in Warren Weaver's work in 1948, and by the 1960s everyone was using the term, making it not a new thing or a Santa Fe Institute invention but something that goes back at least to the 1940s.

“this is the first use of the word complexity science that's in 1948 by Warren Weaver so when you ask where it comes from it goes back to the 40s at least that phrase and then from the 60s everyone was using it it's not a new thing it's not a SFI thing it's much older”
