Redshifts and intrinsic time

We examine the hypothesis of the connection between quasars and galaxies from the point of view of the theory of nonlinear dynamics of highly complex systems. It is found that complexity and nonlinearity of systems which are informationally disconnected may lead to different intrinsic time-scales of the systems. Systems with different intrinsic time-scales age at different rates. This kind of aging can be measured by observing their different redshifts. On interpreting strongly differing redshifts of astrophysically closely related objects as informational redshifts, we are in the position to determine their maturity ratios which are measures of the different nonlinear stages of the objects on the cosmological time-scale.
