Models and Methods for the Understanding of Self-organization and Synergetics in Chemical Systems

Abstract

Whenever information is transferred by language one differentiates between syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects. The transferring of information about the facts of a deeper understanding of self-organization and synergetics of chemical systems in our opinion finds its analogy to this in the following statements. The reader will find the formalized and mathematized — and thereby subject separated — objective descriptions (the syntax) in physics, physico-organic and theoretical chemistry. This will be briefly mentioned in Chap. 10, as motivation for further studies.
