The question comes down to what sort of system it is. Since an equilibrium organism is at one with their environment because they are cold and dead, I am not too keen on the term being bandied around to refer to resilient organisms that bounce back after perturbations. But neither are they entirely disequilibrium, because then everything in them would be random. So one is looking for links, and measures of order and complexity, which allow the system to be as Kaufmann describes a stable dynamical disequilibrium system. But not too disequilibrium.<br /><br />Therefore the problem you describe of too much emphasis on "web" connections, is part of an overall problem in which we have not clearly characterised the system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
