PRINCIPLES OF SIMILARITY FORMATION BETWEEN SIMILAR SYSTEMS

In this paper some new concepts, e.g. Ordered Structure of Systems, Universal Information, and Information Field, are proposed. Based on similarity system theory and similology, five principles for investigating similarity formation, viz. principle of ordered structure, information principle, consanguining principle, coadaptation principle and governing principle, are introduced. Thus, the general principle of similarity formation between similar systems is presented. Many potential applications of principles of similarity formation in similarity engineering are also considered.
