Definition-related Misconceptions

SOS implies evolution

A system as a whole is SO

SOS are always chaotic

Structure is a primary property (but the way how structure was created?)

SO itself is a misconception

Is “self-organization” itself a misconception? Depends on the line between system and observer. Is everything self-organizing?

Adaptivity implies SO

Distributed control implies SO

Simulated annealing is SO

There is always a global goal

Misconceptions on applicability

Every problem can be solved by aggregation of local rules

It is a magical problem solver for engineers

It is always better than a centralized system

A SOS never needs maintenance
