Spontaneous Order and Self-Organization

Spontaneous order and self-organization in complex systems highlight the emergence of structure without central control. This process arises from disorder and feedback mechanisms, creating visual examples such as chemical reactions forming structured patterns or the organization within living systems like beehives. The concept emphasizes how systems self-organize from disordered states into ordered structures through distributed interactions and without central coordination.
