Self organization
Revision as of 21:16, 25 September 2021 by Bethechangecoop (talk | contribs) (→Self Organization Tools)
Self organization, also called (in the social sciences) spontaneous order, is a process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between parts of an initially disordered system. 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.
