Whenever any system spontaneously organizes itself without external assistance or design, it is a new kind of phenomenon.

Context

"In nature it is quite common to see systems that start disordered and featureless, but then spontaneously organize themselves to produces definite structures." [1] The first experiments focused on the power law from the natural occurrence of phenomenon like earthquakes. This evolved into Self-organization Criticality (SOC) in the work of Per Bak with sand piles.[2] and follow-on work in experimental realization.[3]
