Abstract: A few mathematical models have analyzed a parallel path approach to original innovation, and these ‘sampling’ models can not guide enterprises to understand complexity networks of original innovation. We indicate nonlinear formation mechanism of innovation parallel path: from the perspective of complexity theory, the sensitivity to initial conditions, deviation amplification of positive feedback, the fractal patterns and scalability explain the nonlinear formation mechanism of parallel path in original innovation system; by knowledge-based perspective, portfolios of knowledge, technology, product features and innovative concepts constitute a huge feasible solution space; by practice perspective, innovation practice communities and embedded network make it easily form a diversity of parallel paths.
