In this paper we propose an evolutionary model of systems in which their elements are articulated through the relationships that involve an exchange of information. When analysing these relationships we use the concept of percolation. The result is a set of dynamic systems self-organized towards a critical state, as the consequence of the iteration of time-space events at a small scale. The network of relationships follows a fractal structure. As an example we tackle the problem of the expansion of domestic species in the Mediterranean basin, proposing an alternative model to that of demic diffusion.
