# gst: the role of turbulence in the formation of self-organizing patterns

<< What part of the 'self' is responsible for the 'organization?' That role is performed by the unstable modes ('control modes') which alter the position and stability of the local equilibria that drive the time-evolution of the system >> Jacob Halatek

<< These turbulences (..) do not result in the complete loss of order (..) precisely the opposite occurs. When we destabilize the system, we observe that turbulence develops relatively rapidly. But upon further perturbation, the system undergoes a transition in which it is far from equilibrium, but nevertheless clearly ordered and non-turbulent >> Erwin Frey
