Graphical Abstract
The emitted relaxation energy of an organic–inorganic nanohybrid upon repeated heating/cooling cycles exhibits a logarithmic time dependence (associated with hierarchically constrained dynamics), thereby providing a conspicuous fingerprint of emergent complex behavior. It is proposed that the emergence of complexity may be the rule, rather than the exception, concerning the interplay of individual and collective behavior.
