This index page gives a comparison to John Smart's Philosophy
He states: www.accelerationwatch.com/selforg_selfrep.html In line with the new paradigm of evolutionary development of complex systems, we are learning that tomorrow's most successful technological systems must be organic in nature. Self-organization emerges only through a process of cyclic development with limited evolution/variation within each cycle, a self-replicating development that becomes incrementally tuned for progressively greater self-assembly, self-repair, and self-reorganization, particularly at the lowest component levels. At the same time, progressive self-awareness (self-modelling) and general intelligence (environmental modelling) are emergent features of such systems.
