on homogeneization and heterogeneization

by Maria Odete Madeira

While the homogeneization, understood as a dynamic process, is intentionally directed towards capturing, in the systems, patterns that exhibit similarities between each other, towards a systemic identity, the heterogeneization, on the other hand, positions itself, with respect to the homogeneization, as an energetic antagonism, intentionally directed towards capturing, in the systems, patterns that are different and divergent between each other.

The energetic antagonism implies an undefined enchaining of contradictories, that, in the systems, can potentiate mechanisms of autopoiesis capable of producing the so-called systemic fracturing evolutionary jumps, from which lines of fugue can be traced as a threat or opportunity to the systems in what regards their growth and development.
