Since nature works for a determinate end under the direction of a higher agent, whatever is done by nature must needs be traced back to God, as to its first cause. Paslack The process of swimming with the group while using the separation rules is another level of preferential attachment. A typical example of the laser device is provided by a glass tube filled with molecules or atoms which represent the subsystems. The breathtaking picture of living emergence comes from the flocking behavior of Starlings that are portrayed in the video noted at the beginning of this blog. It takes a day to become sick, but a week to become healthy again. Thank you so much for your comment. Dittrich, J. Most economists adopt an intermediate position and recommend a mixture of market economy and command economy characteristics sometimes called a mixed economy. Only the actual playing out of the rule-based behavior of each individual will produce a picture of the system. His explanation leads directly to infinite regress. On the other end of the spectrum, economists consider that market failures are so significant that self-organization produces bad results and that the state should direct production and pricing. Journal of the American Chemical Society. A few examples, suggested by these authors, may suffice here:. At the macroscopic level, the behaviors of many social insects are examples of this process. Carbon nuclei form in that moment when two helium nuclei are briefly forced together and are struck by a third. They showed that fish can sense and keep a distance from their nearest neighbors. More fusion accompanied by the decay of some unstable combinations produce different nuclei all the way up to iron. Systems theory. Unlike a system with a leader, the real signature of a self-organized group is collective response. Yet, the behavior of the flock is defined solely by the actions of individual birds who are each following a set of inbred flying rules that relate only to keeping a certain distance with respect to each of their nearest neighbors, obstacles, and predators. Under the influence of the voltage-difference these ions are accelerated, producing more ions, which lead to the further increase of the local current, etc. And then, the action must be defined by the leader. A new type of business entity is emerging: the tightly controlled, hierarchical production or distribution system with features of chaotic self- organization. My Twitter ID is ballenamar. Because of this, self-organization has been used as a paradigm to design adaptive and robust artificial systems Gershenson, The movement of energy and matter is required to keep the cells alive. Fish schools are well studied examples of self- organization. The concept has proven useful in biology, from molecular to ecosystem level. When applied to economics, the concept of self- organization can quickly become ideologically imbued. In bird flocks or fish schools, the self organizing hierarchy begins with the cell chemistry of the creature, then its organs, then its behavior, and finally the society of organisms that form the group. The antagonistic reaction results because the fire is no longer sustained by the ashes, i. Employees, armed with this intelligence and discretionary power to bestow perks, and guided by well- defined rules and performance objectives, coddle the VIPs appropriately. An Unfinished Revolution? This approach is useful in non-stationary or very large problem domains, where the solution is not fixed or is unknown. The Linux team, by reframing the operating system production game from hierarchical to self-organizing, gained a unique advantage and, now, a robust partnership with IBM. A weaver bird uses its own body as a template as it builds the hemispherical egg chamber of its nest. Warren McCulloch proposed "Redundancy of Potential Command" [55] as characteristic of the organization of the brain and human nervous system and the necessary condition for self-organization. Otangelo: Thank you for your comments!!!! Recent developments in information and decision processes , Macmillan, N. September Issue Explore the Archive. In — these complex self-organizing effects were explained by Boris Kerner 's three-phase traffic theory. Rational choice theory Bounded rationality. Bibcode : NatSR Stigmergy is guidance based on response to stimuli from the product of work previously accomplished. One note of caution concerning all these interpretations may be in order. Blumenfeld, when he wrote: "The meaningful macroscopic ordering of biological structure does not arise due to the increase of certain parameters or a system above their critical values. Please know that your email address is never distributed to anyone. Because non-linear feedback mechanisms are employed, self-organized systems are complex systems that behave in unexpected ways which are not predictable from the behavior of their members. Self-Organised Writer War dynamics. This means that the more popular something is, the more likely it is that a new object will link to it. Awesome article. This phenomenon of self-organization, where a system all by itself becomes ordered in space or time, often leads to emergent properties that are very different from those of the individuals within the group. Only the actual playing out of the rule-based behavior of each individual will produce a picture of the system. Therefore, any individual behavioral fluctuations are independent. Self-organization in nonequilibrium systems: From dissipative structures to order through fluctuations. Examples such as critical mass , herd behaviour , groupthink and others, abound in sociology , economics , behavioral finance and anthropology. My Twitter ID is ballenamar. Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension. A few examples, suggested by these authors, may suffice here:. Only under these conditions and upon these terms can such a product be an organized and self-organized being, and, as such, be called a physical end. Self-organized funding allocation SOFA is a method of distributing funding for scientific research. For Luhmann the elements of a social system are self-producing communications, i. For Luhmann human beings are sensors in the environment of the system. Main article: Self-organization in cybernetics. Thesis, New York University. Self-organization relies on four basic ingredients: [6]. Bibcode : AnP Nyquist stability criterion. Retrieved Gordon Pask , The cybernetics of evolutionary processes and of self organizing systems , 3rd. The krill in the Southern Ocean, being preferred by many species, is an ecological example of preferential attachment. Download as PDF Printable version. This results in such activities as predator avoidance and connections with food sources. An example is the time course of an infection: The infection with few viruses could be sufficient to trigger a sickness since the viruses replicate themselves self- enhancement. In more modern times, self-organization was discussed by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant Paslack , who in particular dealt with the formation of the planetary system, as well as by the German philosopher Schelling Paslack , whose discussion remains rather vague, however. Game theory. The emergent behavior of a complex system equals more than the sum of the parts. Epidemics is characterized by the rapid increase of the size of infected population due to consequence of the interaction between infected and susceptible individuals. Somitogenesis , a segmentation process, which produces a periodic pattern along the head-tail axis are somewhat analogues to Turing structures, while spiral waves occur also in cardiac muscles. Interaction of people in a group imply changes in their opinions about different issues may lead to consensus, fragmentation and polarization. The same is true for a forest fire. Look at the hottest players in retail: Amazon, Apple iTunes, and Netflix. Namespaces Page Discussion. The transition from the irregular light from a lamp to the highly ordered light from a laser shows the emergence of a new quality namely coherent light. Evolution and adaptation. January 1, Self-organization is the spontaneous often seemingly purposeful formation of spatial, temporal, spatiotemporal structures or functions in systems composed of few or many components. What all of these pattern formation methods have in common is that they are all ways to formulate structures that are conduits for energy. From atoms to galaxies, self-organizing complex systems are present all around us. If inhibition falls below a critical level, the degree of synchrony exceeds the threshold of normal patterns, and the system dynamics switches to epileptic pattern. Around , a concept of guided self-organization started to take shape. We see both chaos and order. What appears on a first inspection as a disadvantage is in fact a good strategy. Fish move in concert, organizing themselves into schools. The systems of reactions in any cell are self-catalyzing but not simply self-organizing as they are thermodynamically open systems relying on a continuous input of energy.

  • Robust Classification Method for Underwater Targets Using the Chaotic Features of the Flow Field

In order to understand the extent to which information can be derived via LLS and to improve the adaptive ability of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), a novel strategy is presented, which directly uses the information of the flow field to distinguish the object obstacle. The flow fields around different targets are obtained by the numerical method, and the pressure signal on the virtual lateral line is studied based on the chaos theory and fast Fourier transform (FFT). The compounded parametric features, including the chaotic features (CF) and the power spectrum density (PSD), which is named CF-PSD, are used to recognize the kinds of obstacles. During the research of CF, the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), saturated correlation dimension (SCD), and Kolmogorov entropy (KE) are taken into account, and PSD features include the number, amplitude, and position of wave crests. A two-step support vector machine (SVM) is built and used to classify the shapes and incidence angles based on the CF-PSD. It is demonstrated that the flow fields around triangular and square targets are chaotic systems, and the new findings indicate that the object obstacle can be recognized directly based on the information of the flow field, and the consideration of a parametric feature extraction method (CF-PSD) results in considerably higher classification success.

  • Engineering the Quantum Foam
    Engineering the Quantum Foam Reginald T. Cahill School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia [email protected] _____________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In 1990 Alcubierre, within the General Relativity model for space-time, proposed a scenario for ‘warp drive’ faster than light travel, in which objects would achieve such speeds by actually being stationary within a bubble of space which itself was moving through space, the idea being that the speed of the bubble was not itself limited by the speed of light. However that scenario required exotic matter to stabilise the boundary of the bubble. Here that proposal is re-examined within the context of the new modelling of space in which space is a quantum system, viz a quantum foam, with on-going classicalisation. This model has lead to the resolution of a number of longstanding problems, including a dynamical explanation for the so-called `dark matter’ effect. It has also given the first evidence of quantum gravity effects, as experimental data has shown that a new dimensionless constant characterising the self-interaction of space is the fine structure constant. The studies here begin the task of examining to what extent the new spatial self-interaction dynamics can play a role in stabilising the boundary without exotic matter, and whether the boundary stabilisation dynamics can be engineered; this would amount to quantum gravity engineering. 1 Introduction The modelling of space within physics has been an enormously challenging task dating back in the modern era to Galileo, mainly because it has proven very difficult, both conceptually and experimentally, to get a ‘handle’ on the phenomenon of space.

  • Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, and Foams
    Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, and Foams 1 1 Alberto Tufaile , Adriana Pedrosa Biscaia Tufaile 1 Soft Matter Laboratory, Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. The hyperbolic prism is a transparent optical element with spherical polished surfaces that refracts and reflects the light, acting as an optical element of foam. Using the hyperbolic prism we can face the question: is there any self-similarity in foams due to light scattering? In order to answer this question, we have constructed two optical elements: the hyperbolic kaleidoscope and the hyperbolic prism. The key feature of the light scattering in such elements is that this phenomenon is chaotic. The propagation of light in foams creates patterns which are generated due to the reflection and refraction of light. One of these patterns is observed by the formation of multiple mirror images inside liquid bridges in a layer of bubbles in a Hele-Shaw cell. We have observed the existence of these patterns in foams and their relation with hyperbolic geometry using the Poincaré disc model. The images obtained from the experiment in foams are compared to the case of hyperbolic optical elements, and there is a fractal dimension associated with the light scattering which creates self-similar patterns Keywords: Hyperbolic Prism, Poincaré Disc, Foams, Kaleidoscope. 1 Introduction Physically based visualization of foams improves our knowledge of optical systems. As long as the light transport mechanisms for light scattering in foams are understood, some interesting patterns observed can be connected with some concepts involving hyperbolic geometry, and this study involves mainly the classical scattering of light in foams and geometrical optics.

  • Modelling and Simulation of Acoustic Absorption of Open Cell Metal Foams
    Modelling and Simulation of Acoustic Absorption of Open Cell Metal Foams Claudia Lautensack, Matthias Kabel Fraunhofer ITWM, Kaiserslautern Abstract We analyse the microstructure of an open nickel-chrome foam using computed tomography. The foam sample is modelled by a random Laguerre tessellation, i.e. a weighted Voronoi tessellation, which is fitted to the original structure by means of geometric characteristics estimated from the CT image. Using the Allard-Johnson model we simulate the acoustic absorption of the real foam and the model. Finally, simulations in models with a larger variation of the cell sizes yield first results for the dependence of acoustic properties on the geometric structure of open cell foams. 1. Introduction Open cell metal foams are versatile materials which are used in many application areas, e.g. as heat exchangers, catalysts or sound absorbers. The physical properties of a foam are highly affected by its microstructure, for instance the porosity or the specific surface area of the material or the size and shape of the foam cells. An understanding of the change of the foam’s properties with altering microstructure is crucial for the optimisation of foams for certain applications. Foam models from stochastic geometry are powerful tools for the investigation of these relations. Edge systems of random tessellations are often used as models for open foams. Geometric characteristics which are estimated from tomographic images of the foams are used for fitting the models to real data. Realisations of foams with slightly modified microstructure can then be generated by changing the model parameters. Numerical simulations in these virtual foam samples allow for an investigation of relations between the geometric structure of a material and its physical properties.

  • Low Rattling: a Predictive Principle for Self-Organization in Active Collectives

General principles describing self-organization away from equilibrium have been challenging to iden- tify. We offer a unifying framework that models the behavior of com- plex systems as largely random, while capturing their configuration- dependent response to external forcing. This allows derivation of a Boltzmann-like principle for understanding and manipulating driven self-organization. We validate our predictions experimentally in shape- changing robotic active matter, and outline a methodology for con- trolling collective behavior.

  • Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio in Biology, Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry and Technology: a Non-Exhaustive Review
    Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio in Biology, Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry and Technology: A Non-Exhaustive Review Vladimir Pletser Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China; [email protected] Abstract Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio can be found in nearly all domains of Science, appearing when self-organization processes are at play and/or expressing minimum energy configurations. Several non-exhaustive examples are given in biology (natural and artificial phyllotaxis, genetic code and DNA), physics (hydrogen bonds, chaos, superconductivity), astrophysics (pulsating stars, black holes), chemistry (quasicrystals, protein AB models), and technology (tribology, resistors, quantum computing, quantum phase transitions, photonics). Keywords Fibonacci numbers; Golden ratio; Phyllotaxis; DNA; Hydrogen bonds; Chaos; Superconductivity; Pulsating stars; Black holes; Quasicrystals; Protein AB models; Tribology; Resistors; Quantum computing; Quantum phase transitions; Photonics 1. Introduction Fibonacci numbers with 1 and 1 and the golden ratio φlim → √ 1.618 … can be found in nearly all domains of Science appearing when self-organization processes are at play and/or expressing minimum energy configurations. Several, but by far non- exhaustive, examples are given in biology, physics, astrophysics, chemistry and technology. 2. Biology 2.1 Natural and artificial phyllotaxis Several authors (see e.g. Onderdonk, 1970; Mitchison, 1977, and references therein) described the phyllotaxis arrangement of leaves on plant stems in such a way that the overall vertical configuration of leaves is optimized to receive rain water, sunshine and air, according to a golden angle function of Fibonacci numbers. However, this view is not uniformly accepted (see Coxeter, 1961). N. Rivier and his collaborators (2016) modelized natural phyllotaxis by the tiling by Voronoi cells of spiral lattices formed by points placed regularly on a generative spiral.
