A self-organizing system refers to a system that acquires new structure based upon the collective actions of a large number of autonomous subsystems.^[1] In biology, an example might be a termite nest or a bees' nest. In chemistry, an example is the spontaneous generation of supramolecules by self-assembly from their components. In systems theory, an example is the ordering of massive numbers of individual computers via local interactions to achieve a global goal.^[2]
