Organic describes forms, methods and patterns found in living systems such as the organisation of cells, to populations, communities, and ecosystems.[1]
Typically organic models stress the interdependence of the component parts, as well as their differentiation. Other properties of organic models include:
- the growth, life or development cycle
- the ability to adapt, learn, and evolve
- emergent behaviour or emergent properties
- steady change or growth, as opposed to instant change
- regulatory feedback
- composed of heterogeneous (diverse) parts
Organic models are used especially in the design of artificial systems, and the description of social systems and constructs.
