ARTICLES RELATED TO Self-organization - Self-organization in physics | | | |  Self-organization - Self-organization in physics: Encyclopedia II - Self-organization - ExamplesThe following list summarizes and classifies the instances of self-organization found in different disciplines. As the list grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine whether these phenomena are all fundamentally the same process, or the same label applied to several different processes. Self-organization, despite its intuitive simplicity as a concept, has proven notoriously difficult to define and pin down formally or mathematically, and it is entirely possible that any precise definition might not include all the ...

| | | | Self-organization - Self-organization in physics: Encyclopedia II - Self-organization - History of the idea The idea that the dynamics of a system can tend by themselves to increase the inherent order of a system has a long history. One of the earliest statements of this idea was by the philosopher Descartes, in the fifth part of his Discourse on Method, where he presents it hypothetically. Descartes further elaborated on the idea at great length in a book called Le Monde that was never published.
The ancient atomists (among others) believed that a designing intelligence was unnecessary, arguing that given enough time and spac ...

| | | | Self-organization - Self-organization in physics: Encyclopedia II - Self-organization - Overview The most robust and unambiguous examples of self-organizing systems are from physics, where the concept was first noted. 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. There are also cited examples of "self-organizing" behaviour found in the literature of many other disciplines, both in the natural sciences and the social sciences such as economics or anthropology. Self-organization has also been observed in m ...
