“STRUCTURES that self-organize (crystals, double helical DNA, etc) do so because of compensating energy factors (e.g. favorable intramolecular attractions such as hydrogen bonding); whereas, systems that appear to “spontaneously” self organize (e.g. life) may well involve self-ordering components but also require an external source of energy to compensate for unfavorable entropy.”
