Greeting Jacob,

Here is my thought, maybe it is useful.

Maybe not!

Here it is:

Self-org is assisted, in large part, by a clear goal (an important objective) 
and clear constraints (aka rules)

Example: OST

Goal; explore Theme 

Rules; 1 Law 5 principles

I wonder how this sits with you in light of your wider question regarding AI 
(not to be confused with robots of any kind...)

Note: I have understand that some may (convincingly) argue that self-org needs 
no help... 

From my undisclosed location in North Guilford, CT, USA...
