In recent years, a new promising general scientific direction has emerged to study the processes of self-organization in complex open systems of Nature and Society. Under open systems it is customary to understand systems capable of exchanging matter, energy and information with the environment. Openness in combination with the accumulative and internal resonance of the system leads to the activation of internal processes of self-organization and the complication of the structure, which is the essence of its evolution.
