目前对许多物种基因组的分析表明，它们功能和行为特征的多样性与编码生物体的基因数量不成比例。我们调查的假设，生物特征的多样性是由于等级组织。我们这样做，最近推出的有限过程汤，它允许一个详细的数学和定量分析结构复杂性的人口动态模型。在这里，我们表明，全球复杂性的有限过程汤是由于出现了连续的更高层次的组织，层次结构自发出现，结构创新的过程是由发现和维护相对不复杂的，但一般的，个人在人口。
Current analyses of genomes from numerous species show that the diversity of their functional and behavioral characters is not proportional to the number of genes that encode the organism. We investigate the hypothesis that the diversity of organismal character is due to hierarchical organization. We do this with the recently introduced model of the finitary process soup, which allows for a detailed mathematical and quantitative analysis of the population dynamics of structural complexity. Here we show that global complexity in the finitary process soup is due to the emergence of successively higher levels of organization, that the hierarchical structure appears spontaneously, and that the process of structural innovation is facilitated by the discovery and maintenance of relatively noncomplex, but general, individuals in a population.
