Emergent Growth of System Self-Organization & Self-Control

Abstract: In physics, I noticed subjects not explained by formulas were often not studied, like how uncontrolled growth systems changed form. Weather, businesses, societies, environments, communities, cultures, groups, relationships, lives, and livelihoods all do it following some variation of an 'S' curve. It is a slow-fast-slow process of self-animated contextual energy system development. Making working systems, they seem to develop by "find and connect" in three stages, starting small to first A) freely build designs of growing power, then B) diversify, adapt, respond, and harmonize with others, then C) take on one or more roles in their climax environments. It is a life curve of tremendous syntropic success that then ends with decline. Life is particularly risky for small start-ups, but many do succeed. Many powerful civilizations have emerged, some never growing up but growing as endless startups, only to become fragile, fail, and vanish. That looks like a choice.
