This book is an outcome of the workshop on \""principles of organization in organisms\"" held in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1990. It addresses generic biological problems in relatively specific contexts and considers principles of organization that may characterize complex adaptive systems in general. > Based on a workshop held at the Santa Fe Institute in June, 1990, this book explores structure in organisms\u2014both physical and dynamical\u2014and presents the current status of the search for natural pathways, principles of organization, and the theory of design for organisms. Topics discussed include dynamical systems analysis; the pathways of evolution; development, physiology, and functional morphology; and the principles of dynamical change in connectivity within the networks of processes. > General Introduction -- Physiology -- Introduction -- The Flexible Dynamics of Biological Coordination: Living in the Niche Between Order and Disorder /C.
