Life is a bottom up, self-organised emergent property of organic molecules that coalesced into protein chains through nothing more than the input of energy into the system of Earth's early environment.

In the end he let them live, because the black market was the one and only efficient market that maintained self-organised order and supply within the fleet.

Economies are self-organised emergent processes of people trying to make a living, and democracy is a bottom-up emergent political system "specifically designed to displace top down kingdoms, theocracies, and dictatorships".

Beggs's work provides good evidence that self-organised criticality is important on the level of small networks of neurons.

What's more, when the team tried to reproduce the activity they saw in the volunteers' brains in computer models, they found that they could only do so if the models were in a state of self-organised criticality PLoS Computational Biology, vol 5, p e1000314.

Crucially, this was true at all frequencies, which means the phenomenon is scale invariant - the other key criterion for self-organised criticality.

The work of Bullmore's team is compelling evidence that self-organised criticality is an essential property of brain activity, says neuroscientist David Liley at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, who has worked on computational models of chaos in the brain.

Importantly, the ratio of large to small avalanches fit the predictions of the computational models that had first suggested that the brain might be in a state of self-organised criticality The Journal of Neuroscience, vol 23, p 11167.
