As the prefix self-* suggests, such self-* properties occur indeed often in self-organizing systems. | As the prefix self-* suggests, such self-* properties occur indeed often in self-organizing systems. | ||
| - | The usually involve some form of '''Self-Reference'''. Yet the existing self-* properties of living systems are not exactly identical with the desirable self-* properties of artificial systems. Living systems are characterized by the following self-* properties or self-organizing processes. What all living systems have in common is [[Autopoiesis]] and [[Self-Organization]]. '''Self-Regeneration''' and '''Self-Reproduction''' can be found even in plants through metabolism and sex (in Greek, 'metabolos' means something fluctuating or changing, that is always changing or in perpetual change) | + | The usually involve some form of '''Self-Reference'''.

, '''Self-Movement''', '''Self-Control''' and '''Self-Defense''' in animals due to digestion, cognition, and the immune system, and finally '''Self-Awareness''' and '''Self-Consciousness''' in humans. In other words the application of the principles found in natural systems to artificial and distributed systems is, unfortunately, not an easy, straightforward process. We cannot simply obtain amazing self-* properties in artificial systems just by imitating nature. A self-reproductive application is known as a dangerous virus, a self-defending system can be a nightmare, and a self-regenerative application can perhaps prevent a deactivation. | , '''Self-Movement''', '''Self-Control''' and '''Self-Defense''' in animals due to digestion, cognition, and the immune system, and finally '''Self-Awareness''' and '''Self-Consciousness''' in humans.
