GMU:Things that organize themselves/Synergetics

Synergetics

Our human effort in revealing natures strive to shape itself within it’s own regulatory system has brought forward many, more or less, distinct fields of science, such as: thermodynamics, chemistry, psychology, biochemistry, economics, philosophy and theology.

Synergetics deals with the interaction of elements that form complex dynamic systems.

„In summary we can say that a great number of quite different phenomena can be looked at with the help of only a few concepts from an unified point of view. The mysterious order principles that govern the cooperation of the different parts of a large system manifest themselves as feedback-systems created by the sub-systems. Unexpected sudden changes of these order principles are initiated by phase- transitions. This opens a perspective to deal with these processes in a mathematical way.“ - Hermann Haken 1971

“The drive to equilibrium forces the emergence of intelligence.”
“That the brain matches its environment is no more surprising than the matching of the two ends of a broken stick.”
“He who would design a good brain must first know how to make a bad one.” - Ross Ashby

Motivation

In order to shed light on the processes of nature i am trying to create an artificial homöodynamic system.
