Yet, the current framework for the study of self-organization is only able to capture some of the nuances of complex social self-organizing phenomena.</p><p><strong>Method</strong>: This article addresses some of the problematic elements in the study of social selforganization. For this purpose, it focuses on pattern formation, a feature of self-organizing phenomena that is common across definitions. The analysis is carried out through three main questions: where can we find these patterns, what are these patterns and how can we study these patterns.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>: The discussion shows that there is a high level of specificity in social self-organized phenomena that is not adequately addressed by the current complexity framework. It argues that some elements are neglected by this framework because they are relatively exclusive to social science; others, because of the relative novelty of social complexity.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: It is suggested that interdisciplinary collaboration between social scientists and complexity scientists and engineers is needed, in order to overcome traditional disciplinary limitations in the study of social self-organized phenomena.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Ingeniería}, author={Anzola, David}, year={2018}, month={Jan.}, pages={84–102} }
