Generative architects focus on self-organizing and emergent architecture as their design. In architecture, three terms -complex systems, self-organization, and emergence- stand out. Computer scientist Melanie Mitchell defines a nonlinear complex system as "large networks of components with no central control and simple rules of operation give rise to complex, collective behavior, sophisticated information processing, and adaptation via learning or evolution." When we ask what self-organization is, biologist and physician Scott Camazine states, "The rules specifying interactions among the system's components are executed using only local information, without reference to the global pattern." Furthermore, self-organization is closely related to the concept of emergence, which is generally understood to mean that "The whole is more than the sum of its parts." According to Camazine, "Emergent properties are system features that arise unexpectedly
