Self-Organization Theory

Self-Organization Theory explains how complex systems, like ecosystems or social groups, develop order and structure without a central controller. Instead, individual components follow simple rules and interact locally, leading to emergent patterns and organization over time. This process is driven by dynamic feedback and adaptation, allowing the system to become more organized spontaneously. It helps us understand how local actions produce large-scale order, seen in phenomena like ant colonies, weather patterns, or markets, where the overall structure arises naturally from individual behaviors without centralized planning.
