When a system is in turbulence, 

the turbulence is not just out there in the environment,

but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.

(Kevin Kelly)

Lorsqu'un système est en turbulence,

la turbulence n'est pas seulement juste là dans l'environnement,

mais fait partie de l'organisation ou de l'organisme que vous observez.
