Abstract

A set of fundamental properties of self-organised systems is identified. Asynchronism is here proposed as one of these properties. It is shown that, by overlooking it, the concept of self-organisation is not fulfilled. Implications of this property to the study of self-organisation are discussed. Further, two other salient aspects are identified: minimisation of local conflicts produces optimal evolutionarily stable self-organisation; and the hypothesis that complexity variations may distinguish living from non-living self-organised systems. Conclusions and further research bring the document to an end.
