Hi OSList A few articles recently got me thinking about self org and emergence.
This article <https://medium.com/sfi-30-foundations-frontiers/emergence-a-unifying-theme-for-21st-century-science-4324ac0f951e> recounts how the Santa Fe Institute, after an initial interest in emergence, watched 'complexity' emerge as the dominant focus for science... but now feel that focus is swinging back to emergence, and that this is an indicator of a broader trend in science from a reductionist focus towards emergent phenomenon. This article <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20141204182934-23702-leadership-and-followership> on on 'prescribed' and 'emergent' leaders could have been rewritten as 'formal' and 'informal' leaders (the latter self-organising, the wave riders) and would make perfect sense. Maria in particular will be very familiar to many of you : ) It has me thinking about how strongly our human technology is linked with natural sciences, and how the studies of both may be closer than I realise... And also thinking about the flow of knowledge from maths, through 'hard' sciences to social sciences and technology.
