STABILITY OF CHANGE #2 // ENDEAVOUR FOR LIFE
17 December 2012

Relations between forms and the environment are already significant enough when discussing systems, like river morphologies or proto-organic bacteria organisms. Still, much more extended picture is being drawn by the emergence and evolution of living organisms in relation to their environment. It is already at the level of embryological development that relation between characteristic geometrical patterns and cell specialisation is being established in relation to growth environment. There is a strong mutual and complementary relation between information encoded in organism DNA and its virtual potential of being shaped due to external constrains. DNA acts as a set of functions, whose arguments are being dynamically generated along the process of its execution. Genes contains precise but flexible instructions, the execution of which cannot be achieved aside laws of physics and mathematical principles arising from the environment.

STABILITY OF CHANGE #1 // GENESIS OF FORM
17 December 2012

Driven by the principles of self-organization, energy (here equals matter, equals information), begins to express new organizational and special qualities. Along the way of system growth, new levels of complexity and emergent behaviors are being build up on top of each other. Proprieties from the lower level of organization, while still present in a higher level, generates new emergent qualities. Every form has its genesis at the lowest level, but its evolution has a double articulation character. It is described by linear energy flow increase facilitated by non linear events, that redefines the primer organizational principles of the system, at the thresholds levels of its efficiency.
