It is concluded that the NESP framework may offer a new perspective to the description of damage evolution. During the initial loading/unloading process the micro-cracks grow solely by propagation of their tips, because they soon start to interact with others creating a damage network. As the population of the damages self-organizes, they begin to coalesce, shifting the main process of growth from propagation to coalescence. This process is projected through the reduction of the q-exponent near the critical limit value of 1.25.
