Wicken "The Generation of Complexity in Evolution: A Thermodynamic and Information-Theoretical Discussion," Journal of Theoretical Biology, 77 (April 1979): 353, 349-65.'Organized' systems are to be carefully distinguished from 'ordered' systems. Neither kind of system is 'random'; but whereas ordered systems are generated according to simple algorithms and therefore lack complexity, organized systems must be assembled element by element according to an external 'wiring diagram' with a high information content.
