Self-Organization of Consciousness

To be more specific, we are now coming to understand the innate tendency of energy systems to evolve into structures that capture energy and use it to organize even more complex, flexible, and tenacious structures… It turns out that systems which exist far from equilibrium are the natural product of the self-organizing tendencies of energy currents throughout the universe to move toward greater complexity. Such complexity can be defined in terms of information as well as thermodynamics. Thus these systems are information intensive, capturing free but patterned energy from the environment and using it to enrich their own complex structures.
