A Generalisable Measure of Self-Organisation and Emergence
نویسندگان
چکیده
In adaptive systems that involve large numbers of entities, emergent, global behaviours that arise from localised interactions are a critical concept. Understanding and shaping emergence may be essential to such systems’ success. To aid in this understanding, this paper introduces a measure gleaned from non-linear systems theory. The paper discusses how this measure can be used in reinforcing self organising behaviours in adaptive systems. Further, it is shown that the measure can be successfully employed as feedback to a system employing evolutionary computation (EC) and using this to design in desired self organising behaviours in an approximation to a biological plausible collective system.

Emergence Versus Self-Organisation: Different Concepts but Promising When Combined
A clear terminology is essential in every research discipline. In the context of ESOA, a lot of confusion exists about the meaning of the terms emergence and self-organisation. One of the sources of the confusion comes from the fact that a combination of both phenomena often occurs in dynamical systems. In this paper a historic overview of the use of each concept as well as a working definition...

متن کاملAn Information-theoretic Primer on Complexity, Self-organisation and Emergence
Complex Systems Science aims to understand concepts like complexity, self-organization, emergence and adaptation, among others. The inherent fuzziness in complex systems definitions is complicated by the unclear relation among these central processes: does self-organisation emerge or does it set the preconditions for emergence? Does complexity arise by adaptation or is complexity necessary for ...

Hearing Emergence: towards sound-Based Self-Organisation
A fascination for models derived from natural organisation of organisms has a long history of influence in the arts. This paper discusses emergence as a complex behaviour and its manifestations in the sonic domain. We address issues inherent in the use of visual/spatial metaphors for sonic representation and propose an approach based on sound interaction within biological complex systems.
