  8. Definitions • What is Chaos ? [Poincarré] [Lorenz] [Prigogine] disorder, confusion, is opposed to order and method “Chaos” define a particular state of a system that is characterized by the following behaviors: • Do not repeat • Sensible to initial conditions: sharp differences can produce wide divergent results • Moreover, ordered and characterized by an unpredictable determinism • When moving away from equillibrium state => high organization • Non equillibrium phasis: bifurcations • Amplification => Symetry break

  9. Definitions • What is Self-organization in natural systems? Self-organization is a process in which pattern at the global level of a system emerges solely from numerous interactions among the lower level components of the system. [Deneubourg 1977] Moreover, the rules specifying interactions among the system’s components are executed using only local information, without reference to the global pattern In other words, the pattern is an emergent property of the system, rather than a property imposed on the system by an external influence

  10. Definitions • What is an emergent property ? • Many Agents • Simple rules • Many interactions • Decentralization • Emergent properties • Unreductibility • Macro-level (odre magnitude difference) • Feed-back effect on the micro-level Conditions Observations

Mechanisms ?

  28. Degradation Degradation Slow diffusion ACTIVATOR ACTIVATEUR INHIBITOR INHIBITEUR Quick diffusion + + - Activation-inhibition mechanism autocatalyzis Inspired by equations of reaction-diffusion [Turing1949] inhibition The activator autocatalyzes its own production, and also activates the inhibitor. The inhibitor disrupts the autocatalytic process. Meanwhile, the two substances diffuse through the system at different rates, with the inhibitor migrating faster. The result: local activationandlong-range inhibition

  29. Activation-inhibition mechanism Activation-inhibition and self-organization share a common mechanism Starting point: a homogeneous substrate (lacking pattern) Positive feedback (short-range activation, autocatalyzes) Negative feedback (long-range inhibition)
