โฆ Synopsis
We discover a broad universality class in self-organized critical phenomena. This universality class includes a model for dispersive transport in rice piles, the depinning transition of an elastic interface that is dragged at one end through a random medium, and the purely deterministic Burridge-Knopoff "train" model for earthquakes.

The spatial distribution of low-canopy gaps in the Barro Colorado Island rainforest (Panama) is shown to exhibit fractal properties. A simple cellular automata model (the ''Forest Game'') was constructed in order to simulate the gap dynamics of such forests as well as the observed macroscopic spatia
With attention focused on the behavior of a system having human beings as constituent elements, we studied the dynamics of the system in terms of the process of its self-organization. A mathematic model describing a system which involves human beings is composed of three variables, i.e., interaction
