Alive Inside - Music and Memory. Self-organization. Figure 1: Snow Crystal. In the beginning of quantum mechanics and statistical physics it was believed that a crystalline structure can be calculated by determining the minimum of the free energy. This may be true, e.g. for ionic crystals, such as sodium chloride, or metals.
In this case, the Schrödinger equation for the ground state or possibly low lying states must be solved. In general, this requires the solution of a many particle problem. As the example of snow crystals shows, this picture is too narrow. Figure 2: A satellite photograph taken by NASA. Self-organization is the spontaneous often seemingly purposeful formation of spatial, temporal, spatiotemporal structures or functions in systems composed of few or many components. Many objects in our surrounding and daily life such as furniture, houses, cars, TV-sets, computers are man made.
History The concept of self-organization was discussed in ancient Greek philosophy (see F. Figure 6: Instability hierarchy in a fluid. Physics.

What is Developmental Coaching by Otto Laske, Ph.D. What is Developmental Coaching? By Otto Laske, Ph.D. There is no doubt that all coaching is developmental. All coaching makes a contribution to a client’s adult development.
But the way coaching is typically done at present does not always meet the client where the client is developmentally, because a notion of the "where" of development (developmental level) is absent in the coach. The coach may also not be aware of his or her own present developmental level. For coaching to be consciously "developmental," a particular mental model of the client needs to be fashioned, one that accounts for where the client is developmentally, in his or her journey across the life span. This notion of development still leaves open two very different approaches to adult development. Developmental coaching is assessment based or "instrumented" coaching. How does developmental coaching in the constructivist sense proceed in order to assist clients?

Buy & download fulltext article: Abstract: This paper suggests that certain traditional ways of analysing the self start off in situations that are abstract or detached from normal experience, and that the conclusions reached in such approaches are, as a result, inexact or mistaken. The paper raises the question of whether there are more contextualized forms of self-consciousness than those usually appealed to in philosophical or psychological analyses, and whether they can be the basis for a more adequate theoretical approach to the self. First, we develop a distinction between abstract and contextualized actions and intentions by drawing on evidence from studies of rehabilitation after brain damage, and we introduce the notion of intentional attitude.
