Wikipedia

  1. self-organisation

    Self-organization, also called spontaneous order in the social sciences, is a process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between parts of an initially disordered system. The process can be spontaneous when sufficient energy is available, not needing control by any external agent. It is often triggered by seemingly random fluctuations, amplified by positive feedback. The resulting organization is wholly decentralized, distributed over all the components of the system. As such, the organization is typically robust and able to survive or self-repair substantial perturbation. Chaos theory discusses self-organization in terms of islands of predictability in a sea of chaotic unpredictability. Self-organization occurs in many physical, chemical, biological, robotic, and cognitive systems. Examples of self-organization include crystallization, thermal convection of fluids, chemical oscillation, animal swarming, neural circuits, and black markets.

  1. self-organisation

    Self-organisation is a process where some form of overall order or coordination arises out of the local interactions between the components of an initially disordered system. This concept is applied in fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, or economics to explain how complex patterns and behaviours can emerge from simpler rules or interactions. It does not rely on external control or guidance, but is driven by feedback and energy flow that lead the system to adapt and evolve, often towards a stable state or pattern.
