Zusammenfassung:Starting from Niklas Luhmann's notions on coping with "double contingency" this article investigates the influence of actor constellations on the emergence of communication systems on the basis of computer simulations. Furthermore, it analyzes the effects interference has on the processes of order formation both during system genesis & in stable systems. 5 Tables, 11 Abbs, 36 References.
