Self Generating System
From AGIRI.org
A self-generating system is an abstract model of complex systems, which basically consists of a set of components that act on and combine with each other to create new components, recursively. It is similar to a Component System but is explicitly understood to be computable.
A brief discussion of the relevance of these concepts for consciousness, by Allan Combs, is here:

The cognitive processes of Forward Synthesis and Backward Synthesis are specific manifestations of self-generating systems.
The Cognitive Equation is a hypothesis regarding which kinds of self-generating systems will be able to give rise to General Intelligence given moderate computational resources.

- Self-Generating Systems were introduced in the book Chaotic Logic, a preliminary version of the relevant chapter of which is here: http://www.goertzel.org/books/logic/chapter_seven.htm
