Singularity (systems theory)
Context in which a small change can cause a large effect, according to Maxwell
In systems theory, a singularity refers to a critical condition in which relatively small changes, perturbations, or events may produce disproportionately large, nonlinear, or irreversible effects on the behaviour, identity, or development of a system. Such singularities may occur in physical, biological, cognitive, social, or organizational systems.

From Wikipedia
In systems theory, a singularity refers to a critical condition in which relatively small changes, perturbations, or events may produce disproportionately large, nonlinear, or irreversible effects on the behaviour, identity, or development of a system. Such singularities may occur in physical, biological, cognitive, social, or organizational systems. The concept differs from mathematical or gravitational singularities, as it does not primarily describe infinite values in equations or spacetime, but rather sensitive interactions between structural conditions and triggering events in complex systems. In systems theory, singularities are often associated with instability, path dependence, phase transitions, self-organization, and critical transitions.
