Formation theory

Formation theory explores how structures and patterns develop over time through interactions and processes. It suggests that systems, whether physical, biological, or social, emerge from the combination of individual elements following certain rules or forces. These formations can be seen in natural arrangements like crystal growth, the organization of planets, or the development of social groups. The theory helps explain how complex structures arise from simpler components, emphasizing the importance of initial conditions and ongoing interactions that influence the final pattern or organization.
