Self Organization- (n.)
1. The phenomenon that the structure of a complex system is not driven by a single authority or design, but comprised of several interacting components that work together seek out the evolutionary process of the system. An increasingly difficult process to predict and define.
2. A pattern with the ability to become "robust, adaptive, and flexible" through a randomized organization of intricate parts. See [Tree Branching Algorithm]
3. The process of a spontaneous evolution solely within the forces of a complex system and not of an external force. Can also be compared to the phenomenon of 'Emergence', which 'Self Organization' is a subset.
Quote:
"...intricate systems can most effectively be built up messily, in steps and layers, from approximate rather than in one fell swoop of assembly. Indirectness, is appears, is actually the secret to to achieving a robust, adaptive, flexible, and evolving design." - Kwinter, 187

Jungle-ize (v.) pg 187
1. To remove any form of consistency or formality from a system, allowing the raw and unbounded forces to interdependently become dominant.

Quote:
"...the intuitive capacity to move fluidly between tactical and strategic modes in relation to fluctuating conditions..." - Kwinter, 187
