Editing Twelve leverage points (section)

=== 4. Power to add, change, evolve, or self-organize system structure===
[[Self-organization]] describes a system's ability to change itself by creating new structures, adding new negative and positive feedback loops, promoting new information flows, or making new rules. {{quote|For example, microorganisms have the ability to not only change to fit their new polluted environment, but also to undergo an evolution that makes them able to biodegrade or bioaccumulate chemical pollutants. This capacity of part of the system to participate in its own [[eco-evolution]] is a major leverage for change.}}
