Abstract
Synergetics is concerned with the cooperation of individual parts of a system that produces macroscopic spatial, temporal, or functional structures. The following article deals with an aspect of synergetics of particular interest: Are there general principles that govern the self-organized production of macroscopic structures irrespective of the nature of the individual parts?
