Abstract

Based on a scenario of self-organization suggested by plasma experiments we explain the emergence of metastable complex space charge configurations in the form of luminous spots of micrometer sizes and also its ordered spatial distribution in dc micro-discharges. Endowed with memory, these metastable complex space charge configurations give to the system the ability to work as an intelligent multifunctional network. Starting with the assertion that the intrinsic mechanism of self-organization is the same in all states of aggregation of the matter and that only the dimensions of the metastable configurations depend on the matter concentration it becomes possible to offer a new insight concerning the genuine origin of self-organized pattern with sizes in the range of micro and nanometers..
