Imagery Synergetics: Science of Cooperation

This book is about understanding structure formation in complex systems in nature and society. It uses images of complex structures as a starting point and guide for understanding the underlying laws. Modeling by cellular automata and iterated function systems enables us to study the cooperative character of pattern formation.

This book is designed to appeal to a wide range of researchers and students who are interested in the formation of structures in complex systems in nature and society. When we think of synergetics, striking images of intricate structures immediately come to mind. These images serve as a starting point and guide for understanding the formation of structure in chemical, biological, physical, geological, and social systems.

Numerous captivating images of recent experimental findings illustrate the imagery of synergetics, while also providing precise statements about the underlying laws based on precise and discussed measurements. For instance, the famous Runge pictures are accessible to a physico-chemical description, and it turns out that the well-known disintegration of beer foam satisfies a consecutive kinetics with feedback.

Modeling using cellular automata and iterated function systems enables us to study the cooperative nature of pattern formation on sea shells on the one hand, while also demonstrating that creativity is a cooperative effect.
