摘要: Researches on organization and structure in complex systems are academic and industrial fronts in modern sciences.Though many theories are tentatively proposed to analyze complex systems, we still lack a rigorous theory on them.Complex systems possess various degrees of freedom, which means that they should exhibit all kinds of structures.However, complex systems often show similar patterns and structures.Then the question arises why such similar structures appear in all kinds of complex systems.The paper outlines a theory on freedom degree compression and the existence of hierarchical self-organization for all complex systems is found.It is freedom degree compression and hierarchical self-organization that are responsible for the existence of these similar patterns or structures observed in the complex systems.

Abstract: Researches on organization and structure in complex systems are academic and industrial fronts in modern sciences.Though many theories are tentatively proposed to analyze complex systems, we still lack a rigorous theory on them.Complex systems possess various degrees of freedom, which means that they should exhibit all kinds of structures.However, complex systems often show similar patterns and structures.Then the question arises why such similar structures appear in all kinds of complex systems.The paper outlines a theory on freedom degree compression and the existence of hierarchical self-organization for all complex systems is found.It is freedom degree compression and hierarchical self-organization that are responsible for the existence of these similar patterns or structures observed in the complex systems.

Key words: Complex systems, Degrees of freedom, Hierarchical, Self-organization
