One definition of self-organization: “Self-organization is the spontaneous often seemingly purposeful formation of spatial, temporal, spatiotemporal structures or functions in systems composed of few or many components.”14 Self-organization is visible in many cases in nature. Self-organizing systems are adaptive and robust. They can reconfigure themselves to changing demands and thus keep on functioning in spite of perturbations.14

if i replace the words “self-organisation” with “human being”
strange the convolutions we have to go to in academia to include the subjective, intentional, agency of consciousness…
