- For [[Systems]] that have [[Self-organization]] due to an increase in variability, seems like it would be helpful for adaptation in a [[Complex environment]] ## Elements ### Attractors - Types - Fixed - Periodic - Quasi (variable periodic) - Chaotic is where minor changes can create insane changes - *Has a stability property which helps us work towards our desired outcome?* - **Preferred** configurations, states, patterns - The most generally effective solution that people can use as a baseline - When developing an attractor there is slow convergence over time, which then leads to skills or consistent reproduction of desired outcomes ? - How do we create our own attractor? [[#Noise]] ### Repellors - I caught attention to a pattern mentioned: - Learning is about developing skills - Adaptation is learning how to apply them - Sounds like [[Teach then experiment]] ? ### Noise - Noise (variability) can help with discovering things, shown in gears study - Help you identify more affordances through objective information
