Description
Self-organizing is a strategy whereby individuals or groups autonomously coordinate and structure their activities without centralized control, enabling adaptive responses to changing circumstances. This approach fosters resilience, innovation, and efficiency by empowering participants to identify needs, allocate resources, and solve problems collaboratively. It remedies issues of rigidity, inefficiency, and dependency on hierarchical systems, making it effective for managing complex or rapidly evolving challenges in organizations, communities, and networks.
Context
Two meanings must be distinguished: (a) a system that starts with its parts separate (so that the behaviour of each is independent of the others' states) and whose parts then act so that they change towards forming connections of some type (the change is from unorganized to organized); (b) a system in which the progressive connection between the parts is conditioned by the connections already formed (this may be characterized as self-connection).
