How does it relate to chaos ?

Self-Organizing Systems FAQ for Usenet newsgroup comp.theory...
In nonlinear studies we find much structure for very simple systems, as seen in the self-similar structure of fractals and the bifurcation structure seen in the logistic map.

In contrast, for self-organizing systems we have complex assemblies generating simple emergent behaviour, so in essence the two concepts are complementary.

( See figure 1) The virus first attaches to the CD4 cell (1) and injects its genetic material (RNA). The RNA then instructs the CD4 cell to produce more of the virus (2). These new viruses (virions) are then released into the bloodstream (3) and the CD4 cell is destroyed.
