Theory 55/Complexity requires central control

Complexity Self-Organises

The claim

Complex structure can arise from local rules without central coordination, and does so in systems as different as morphogenesis and markets.

01Mechanism

Local interactions produce global order when feedback is present.

02Prediction

Removing central control should not destroy structure.

03Refutation

Structure collapsing without control would remove self-organisation.
