Decentralised system

Decentralised system

Decentralised systems in systems theory are naturally occurring, usually self-regulating systems found which function without an organized center or authority. A system that is decentralised lacks a nuclear body or center of control, and is commonly composed of many components which work in unison, and together form a stable structure.

Such systems can be found in society as well as in nature. For example, a market economy is a system formed by human trade and business.
