Complex system of self-organizationSteven Johnson in the selection “The Myth of the Queen Ant” talks about the intelligence and ability of the members in a complex system of low level that leads to self-organization. organize into a higher level system. Johnson emphasizes that the self-organizing system is not posed or controlled from an external source, but rather it is defined and controlled based on the internal intelligence of each individual. The bottom-up system is not like a pacemaker, organizing, controlling and telling others what to do or how to do, but it is instinct or natural law that requires no pattern or reinforcement from outside. In “The Myth of the Ant Queen,” Johnson also talks about a search for urban life that is neither directed nor controlled by a leader or pacemaker, everyone busy doing their own things in their own way. Johnson's idea of ​​a complex, self-organizing system challenges and brings a different understanding to Azar Nafisi's point of view in her memoir "Reading Lolita in Tehran" on the situation of women in Iranian society and their limited access to external sources. In a sense the social and political system of Iran is the same as a colony of ants, Ayatollah Khomeini is the leader but of course he does not control or tell everyone what to do or not do. In fact, Islamic rules and regulations have become an internal guide for women to follow the guidelines of Islam, even if they are not told to do so. Therefore, Johnson's perspective on complex self-organizing systems sheds light on Azar Nafisi's argument about Iranian society and government and its restrictions on women's lives which are based more on Islamic models. These patterns are followed naturally and women's way of dressing became a natural and accepted way of being a woman in Iran...... middle of paper ...... the 17th century is not legally became a city before the great explosion. " (Johnson 171). He acknowledges that indeed no pacemaker directed the course of the city's development. Johnson draws a parallel between the ant colony and the city of Manchester. He explains that in both systems, there is a curious case where order emerged from what It seems nowhere However, he does not think they live at random it explains something about systems in general that leads to self-organization; of Iranian society, the government of women and the organization of their daily lives It is therefore possible to consider the way of life and the identity of women in Iran as a self-organized system based on the models of Islamic law. rather than government oppression..
