Information and Selforganization: A Unifying Approach and Applications

Abstract: Selforganization is a process by which the interaction between the parts of a complex system gives rise to the spontaneous emergence of patterns, structures or functions. In this interaction the system elements exchange matter, energy and information. We focus our attention on the relations between selforganization and information in general and the way they are linked to cognitive processes in particular. We do so from the analytical and mathematical perspective of the "second foundation of synergetics" and i… Show more

“…This approach allows them to develop continuous version of their measures of emergence, self-organization, and complexity. Finally, they present results that relate their approach to Haken and Portugali's notion of information adaptation (see above [7]) suggesting that their measure of complexity as a balance between emergence and self-organization corresponds to the processes of inflation and deflation through which, according to Haken and Portugali, information adaptation comes into being.…”

“…When the latter is defined as number of offsprings, this concept coincides with that of the order parameter central to synergetics (cf. the contribution by Haken and Portugali, this issue [7]). In his discussion, Schuster includes the role both of Shannon information and semantic/pragmatic information.…”

“…Self-organization is a property of complex systems, composed of active elements whose system of interactions serves for the exchange of matter, energy, and information among their parts and with their context. Self-organization does not imply an external "shaper" of the system; rather a living system continuously organizes and re-organizes its structure and function spontaneously by itself [16].…”

“…The CCM model again has an exceedingly simple environment that is fully characterized by the two external parameters a 0 and r providing quantitative measures for resources and time constraints. In this special issue of Entropy the relations between information and self-organization are in the focus (See, e.g., [95,96]) and we shall investigate the role of information in the simple model for transitions presented and analyzed here. Consciously, all subtle aspects of information and the question whether or not it is meaningful to define a specific biological information are left aside.…”
