| 单词 | self-organization |
| 释义 | self-organization The spontaneous order arising in a system when certain parameters of the system reach critical values. Self-organization occurs in many systems in physics, chemistry, and biology; an example is the Bénard cell. Self-organization can occur when a system is driven far from thermal equilibrium. Since a self-organizing system is open to its environment, the second law of thermodynamics is not violated by the formation of an ordered phase, as entropy can be transferred to the environment. Self-organization is related to the concepts of broken symmetry, complexity, nonlinearity, and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Many systems that undergo transitions to self-organization can also undergo transitions to chaos |
