The paper presents a conceptual framework to understand how complex systems interact with each other in nature. All natural systems are thermodynamically open and physically adaptive. The process of adaptation and continual self-organization cause these systems to interact continuously with the environment and compete against such similar systems for limited resources. date: 2011-12-08 date_type: submitted refereed: FALSE referencetext: 1)Chatterjee, Bikash Atanu, “Certain Interesting Properties of Action and Its Application Towards Achieving Greater Organization in Complex Systems” arxiv: 1111.3186 (2011). 2)Chatterjee, Bikash Atanu, “Principle of Least Action and Theory of Cyclic Evolution” arxiv: 1111.5374 (2011). 3)Salthe, Stanley N., Development and Evolution, (MIT Press, 1993). 4)Lloyd S., Black Holes, Demons and the loss of Coherence: How complex systems get information, and what they do with it, PhD thesis. 5)Gershenson Carlos, “Living in living cities”, arxiv: 1111.3659v1 (2011). 6)Georgiev, G. and Georgiev, I., “The Least Action and the Metric of an Organized system” open systems and information dynamics 9, (4) 371-380 (2002). 7)Georgiev G., “A quantitative measure for the Organization of a system, Part-1: A simple case” arxiv: 1009.1346 (2010). 8)D.
