On Structure and Organization: An Organizing Principle

TL;DR

This paper explores the concept of structure and organization through hyperstructures, illustrating how they serve as universal principles for creating and transferring complex systems like higher order Brunnian rings.

Contribution

It introduces hyperstructures as a unifying organizing principle and demonstrates their applicability across different complex systems.

Findings

Hyperstructures can transfer between different contexts.

Higher order Brunnian rings exemplify hyperstructure organization.

Hyperstructures unify diverse complex systems.

Abstract

We discuss the nature of structure and organization, and the process of making new Things. Hyperstructures are introduced as binding and organizing principles, and we show how they can transfer from one situation to another. A guiding example is the hyperstructure of higher order Brunnian rings and similarly structured many-body systems.
