title: [The significance of modular design in the investigation of processes of system self-organization].
abstract: A model of the process of determined system self-organization based on system-forming modular water structures is proposed. The arrangement and symmetry of these structures, described by the symmetry groups entanglement, matches the basic principles of system self-organization: "system of systems", "recognition", "all-or-none". Crystallography modular generalization engulfs all stable forms of condensed state, including the bound water structures--matrices for the self-organization of biological systems. The bound water structures, besides being matrices, accomplish the metric selection of other structural components of biological systems capable of self-organization into a whole system by creating numerous directed weak bonds among them.
