Complex system studies are a growing area of central importance to
a wide range of disciplines, ranging from physics to politics and
beyond. Adopting this interdisciplinary approach, Systems,
Self-Organisation and Information presents and discusses a range of
ground-breaking research in complex systems theory. Building upon
foundational concepts, the volume introduces a theory of
Self-Organization, providing definitions of concepts including
system, structure, organization, functionality, and boundary.
Biophysical and cognitive approaches to Self-Organization are also
covered, discussing the complex dynamics of living beings and the
brain, and self-organized adaptation and learning in computational
systems. The convergence of Peircean philosophy with the study of
Self-Organization also provides an original pathway of research,
which contributes to a dialogue between pragmatism, semeiotics,
complexity theory, and self-organizing systems. As one of the few
interdisciplinary works on systems theory, relating
Self-Organization and Information Theory, Systems,
Self-Organisation and Information is an invaluable resource for
researchers and postgraduate students interested in complex systems
theory from related disciplines including philosophy, physics, and
engineering.
