This text on the interdisciplinary field of synergetics will be of
interest to students and scientists in physics, chemistry,
mathematics, biology, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering,
and other fields. It continues the outline of basic con cepts and
methods presented in my book Synergetics. An Introduction, which
has by now appeared in English, Russian, J apanese, Chinese, and
German. I have written the present book in such a way that most of
it can be read in dependently of my previous book, though
occasionally some knowledge of that book might be useful. But why
do these books address such a wide audience? Why are instabilities
such a common feature, and what do devices and self-organizing
systems have in common? Self-organizing systems acquire their
structures or functions without specific interference from outside.
The differentiation of cells in biology, and the process of
evolution are both examples of self-organization. Devices such as
the electronic oscillators used in radio transmitters, on the other
hand, are man made. But we often forget that in many cases devices
function by means of pro cesses which are also based on
self-organization. In an electronic oscillator the motion of
electrons becomes coherent without any coherent driving force from
the outside; the device is constructed in such a way as to permit
specific collective motions of the electrons. Quite evidently the
dividing line between self-organiz ing systems and man-made devices
is not at all rigid."
