Evolutional Principles of Self-Organization

Self-Organization is governed by the exchange of information (energy, entropy, material, etc) between the many-body system and the environment.

Evolutional Principles of Self-Organization

We have explored the following principles of self-organization by integrating simulation results on various self-organizing phenomena.

*Many-body system tends to exhibit a "punctuated" evolution against external excitation; specifically, when excitation is continued, creation of a new order and its sudden disruption can be repeated in an intermittent (punctuated) way.

*Self-organization evolves in a marked way as the generated entropy is eliminated from the system.

*In punctuated transition from an old order to a new order specific modes, which are comparable to the characteristic scales of the order, are drastically excited to destroy the old structure and create a new structure. After the creation of new structure unnecessary modes disappear.

*Entropy production rate is maximized in transition.
