Abstract:
Sand is an appropriate material to embody and make visible the impulses which may pass through the moving hand and also permeate the universe. Its ability to absorb impressions means it can take on the full range of material states, solid, liquid or vapour, and allows it to speak with the rhythmic language the whole of nature itself uses. Developing a language of forms which more closely speaks this rhythmic language of nature requires an intimate knowledge of the processes of nature. Sand experiments undertaken show the formation a rich array of dazzling patterns. Chaos theory explains this

Abstract:
My thesis contributes to a better understanding of how self-organized control works. I begin by analyzing the control problem. I argue that the two prominent solutions offered by classical cognitive sciences (centralized control with rich commands) and embodied cognitive sciences (distributed control with simple commands) are merely two positions in a two-dimensional solution space. I outline two alternative positions: distributed control with rich commands and centralized control with simple commands. My goal is to develop a hybrid account that combines the latter alternative position and tha

Abstract:
From a visual standpoint it is often easy to point out whether a system is considered to be self-organizing or not, though a quantitative approach would be more helpful. Information theory, as introduced by Shannon, provides the right tools not only quantify self-organization, but also to investigate it in relation to the information processing performed by individual agents within a collective. This thesis sets out to introduce methods to quantify spatial self-organization in collective systems in the continuous domain as a means to investigate morphogenetic processes.

Networks of communication evolve in terms of reflexive exchanges.

This sociological theory of communication is founded in a tradition that includes Giddens' (1979) structuration theory, Habermas' (1981) theory of communicative action, and Luhmann's (1984) proposal to consider social systems as self-

However, little is known about the psychological mechanisms that may affect professional caregivers' ability to provide good care. This thesis presents four papers which sought to address this gap in our knowledge. The first paper reports a proposed quantitative multilevel study, investigating the effects of nursing home manager-level and care assistant-level variables on psychosocial caregiving among care assistants.
