Complexity. Science. Tech. Self-organization. Self-organization occurs in a variety of physical, chemical, biological, robotic, social and cognitive systems.
Common examples include crystallization, the emergence of convection patterns in a liquid heated from below, chemical oscillators, swarming in groups of animals, and the way neural networks learn to recognize complex patterns. Overview[edit] The most robust and unambiguous examples[1] of self-organizing systems are from the physics of non-equilibrium processes.
Self-organization is also relevant in chemistry, where it has often been taken as being synonymous with self-assembly. The concept of self-organization is central to the description of biological systems, from the subcellular to the ecosystem level. ComplexSystems. Complex Systems. Complex Systems.
