Do you accept Johnson's analogy bet\vcen the behavior of harvester ants and the emergence of cities like Manchester? Does Johnson mean that instinct guides human builders in much the same way as it guides the ants? Does he mean that in both cases an order has emerged entirely by �ccident? Or does he mean that there is something about "systems'' in general-ant colonies as well as spra,vling conurbations-that makes them self-organizin_g? What exactly is a self-organizing system, and how do both the am colony and thc: city qualify as equally approp1iate examples? How does e:ich system organize itself?
