Self Organization Systems

This book tells you how to understand networks such as the internet and social networks. However it was written long before Facebook, or even the web, existed so it explains the principles of networks by examples in biology -- like a beehive, a rain forest, or immune system. It tells the story of how feedback loops can create new phenomena and govern old ones, and why letting innovations like a social network be "out of control" is a good thing. The author also visits technological labs and reports on what they discover as they try to create artificial intelligence from dumb chips, or ...

Can engineered forces guide the organization of matter? This mini-thesis introduces a speculative framework in which calibrated synthetic forces influence the spatial relationships of particles within molecular arrays. By exploring particle centrality, convergence, and emergent nanoscale structure, A.C. Zito presents a conceptual model for how engineered fields might one day guide molecular organization.

This book restores the name of Felix Le Dantec—a scientist, philosopher, and heretic of his age—to the living current of thought. At the dawn of the twentieth century, he dared to proclaim that life is not a riddle imposed by spirit upon matter, but that matter itself is spirit—learning, feeling, and recognizing itself through the processes of biology. He saw the organism not as a mechanism steered by circumstance, but as a meaning-making machine: life as an act of self-comprehension, matter awakening to its own awareness.
