It is possible this is a giant Self-Organizing System...
Self-organization, also called (in the social sciences) spontaneous order, is a process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between parts of an initially disordered system. The process can be spontaneous when sufficient energy is available, not needing control by any external agent. It is often triggered by seemingly random fluctuations, amplified by positive feedback. The resulting organization is wholly decentralized, distributed over all the components of the system. As such, the organization is typically robust and able to survive or self-repair substantial perturbation. Chaos theory discusses self-organization in terms of islands of predictability in a sea of chaotic unpredictability.Self-organization occurs in many physical, chemical, biological, robotic, and cognitive systems. Examples of self-organization include crystallization, thermal convection of fluids, chemical oscillation, animal swarming, neural circuits, and black markets.
Self-organization relies on four basic ingredients:
- strong dynamical non-linearity, often though not necessarily involving positive and negative feedback
- balance of exploitation and exploration
- multiple interactions
- availability of energy (to overcome natural tendency toward entropy, or disorder)
Nope. The coordinated count stoppages along prove this isn’t organic.
Nor is it the fault of actual voters in those states, or a lack of enthusiasm on our part (ROFL!) or any of the other usual oh well, get em next time excuses.
