self-organizing system  

Definition

  • Self-organization is a process where a system reproduces itself with the help of its own logic and components (i.e., the system produces itself based on an internal logic). Self-organizing systems are their own reason and cause; they produce themselves (causa sui). [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Self-Organizing System]
