In the two previous Special Issues, the discussion was mainly confined to conceptualizations within the domain of complexity theories. In the present Special Issue—“Information and Self-Organization III”— the aim is to further extend the discussion on information and self-organization to several new directions: Firstly, to questions of life (e.g., in line with Schrödinger’s What is Life?) and of artificial life. Secondly, to other conceptualizations such as Bohm’s implicate, explicate, and generative orders (including his notion of active information); and/or to Bohr’s complementarity principle and its implications to the domains of life, brain, coordination dynamics and society. Thirdly, as in the previous Special Issues, the aim is to explore the consequences of the above extensions on several research domains, ranging from physics and chemistry through the life sciences and cognitive science to our understanding of society and economy. However, in this Special Issue, there is a special reference to the dynamics of cities and urbanization.
