Information-driven Self-organisation (IDSO)

From COSNet

Many evolutionary/selection/self-organisation pressures can be characterised information-theoretically not only because it's a useful approximation, but also because many optimal structures evolve/self-organise in nature when information transfer within certain channels is maximised (e.g., evolution operates at a certain error threshold). In other words, constraints like noise reduce the channel's bandwidth, and the system evolves to preserve information by self-improving, re-structuring, and so on.

The term IDSO is generic enough to cover
