| Summary: | This paper is an attempt to provide a structural systematic analysis that teases out linguistic features in Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. Specifically, the work employs the mathematical concept of Fractal Dimension and Complexity Theory to explore the idea of spectrum progressing from more orderly to less orderly or to pure disorder reflecting the directness, immediacy, purity, simplicity, and spontaneity of Pushkin's style. This called for the utilization of the Pluridisciplinary approach that helped us to mix linguistics and mathematical approaches--more precisely, Linguistic Presupposition and Fractal Methodology. The results generated after a multi-paradigm numerical computer run suggest that the combination of negative and positive feedback loops, which form the basis of several African and Russian knowledge systems reflecting Pushkin's background, also form a key mechanism of general selforganizing systems in Eugene Onegin.
