Pre-conditions for self-organization

The following is a quote from The Power of Spirit: How Organizations Transform by Harrison Owen (p. 42).

“The essential preconditions for self-organization, according to [Stuart] Kauffman, are the following:

1. A nutrient-rich, relatively protected environment
2. A high level of diversity and potential complexity in terms of the elements present
3. A drive for improvement
4. Sparse pre-existing connections between the various elements
5. It is all (the whole mess) at the edge of chaos

I should note that nowhere does Kauffman outline the necessary preconditions precisely as I have, but I believe I have caught the essence.”
