Selforganization: Portrait of a Scientific Revolution

may be complex without being able to be replaced by something »still more simple«. This became evident with the help of computer models of deterministic—recursive systems in which simple mathematical equation systems provide an extremely complex behavior. (2) Irregularity of nature is not treated as an anomaly but becomes the focus of research and thus is declared to be normal. One looks for regularity within irregularity. Non—equilibrium processes are recognized as the source of order and ...
