[Self-organization in biological systems].
Biological systems are considered that are capable of dynamic self-organization, i.e., spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal order with the formation of various spatio-temporal patterns. A cell is involved in the organization of ontogenesis of all stages. Embryonic cells exhibit coordinated social behavior and generate ordered morphological patterns displaying variability and equifinality ofdevelopment. Physical and topological patterns are essential for biological systems as an imperative that restricts and directs biological morphogenesis. Biological self-organization is directed and fixed by natural selection during which selection of the most resistant, flexible, modulator systems capable of adaptive self-organization occurs.
