Synergetics (Greek: "working together") is an interdisciplinary field of research originated by Hermann Haken in 1969 (see also Haken and Graham 1971). Synergetics deals with material or immaterial systems, composed of, in general, many individual parts (Haken 2004, see also Springer series in Synergetics, about 80 volumes). It focuses its attention on the spontaneous, i.e. self-organized emergence of new qualities which may be structures, processes or functions. The basic question dealt with by Synergetics is: are there general principles of self-organization irrespective of the nature of the individual parts of a system? In spite of the great variety of the individual parts, which may be atoms, molecules, neurons (nerve cells), up to individuals in a society, this question could be answered in the positive for large classes of systems, provided attention is focused on qualitative changes on macroscopic scales. Here "macroscopic scales" means spatial and temporal scales that are large compared to those of the elements. "Working together" may take place between parts of a system, between systems or even between scientific disciplines. Characteristic of Synergetics is the strong interplay between experiment and theory.

υπερβολή και έλλειψις ελλείψεως, απειροκαλία και βαναυσία
"βαναυσία" τι λέξη!
