Arise Quote by Fritjof Capra

“The phenomenon of emergence takes place at critical points of instability that arise from fluctuations in the environment, amplified by feedback loops.”

— Fritjof Capra

This spontaneous emergence of order at critical points of instability, which is often referred to simply as "emergence," is one of the hallmarks of…

“The essence of instability [in fundamental forces of nature] is that small fluctuations get amplified.”

— Max Tegmark

“diverse, connected, interdependent entities whose behavior is determined by rules, which may adapt, but need not. The interactions of these entities often produce phenomena…

The amazing thing is that chaotic systems don't always stay chaotic," Ben said, leaning on the gate. "Sometimes they spontaneously reorganize themselves into an…

Thr principle of organization is built into nature. Chaos itself is self-organizing. Out of primordial disorder, stars find their orbit; rivers make their way…

I've found that instability from growth comes in waves.

— Alan Schaaf

When systems come to be far from points of equilibrium, they reach bifurcation points, wherein multiple, as opposed to unique, solutions, to instability become…

The Strange Loop phenomenon occurs whenever, by moving upwards (or downwards) through levels of some hierarchial system, we unexpectedly find ourselves right back where…

In order to survive, all systems must evolve by providing greater and greater access to the currents that flow through them. This applies to…
