Heylighen F. (1989): "Self-Organization, Emergence and the
Architecture of Complexity", in:
Proceedings of the 1st European Conference on System Science, (AFCET,
Paris), p. 23-32.
Abstract:
It is argued that the problems of emergence and the architecture of
complexity can be solved by analysing the self-organizing evolution of
complex systems. A generalized, distributed variation selection model
is proposed, in which internal and external aspects of selection and
variation are contrasted. "Relational closure" is introduced as an
internal selection criterion. A possible application of the theory in
the form of a pattern directed computer system for supporting complex
problem-solving is sketched.
