Traditionally, most complex intelligence architectures are extremely non-convex, which could not be well performed by convex optimization. However, this paper decomposes complex structures into three types of nodes: operators, algorithms and functions. Iteratively, propagating from node to node along edge, we prove that "regarding the tree-structured neural graph, it is nearly convex in each variable, when the other variables are fixed." In fact, the non-convex properties stem from circles and functions, which could be transformed to be convex with our proposed \textit{\textbf{scale mechanism}}. Experimentally, we justify our theoretical analysis by two practical applications.
