Organodynamic Transforms Reorganization shall be described by defining a repertoire of functions, actually transform categories, on the OSS. Each transform category maps a particular organization (extended topology) at one time step in an ODP to another organization at the next time step in the ODP. These transformation categories shall be defined to mimic the kinds of reorganizations that are observed among our target class of complex systems. Specifically, we shall mimic biological systems – and thus, biological processes, including evolution. The effort to define these transforms and to populate them with specific transforms is currently at its infancy.	Some organodynamic transform categories, and their interpretations in organodynamics Growth The addition or removal of elements to the underlying set; and the corresponding formation or removal of open sets to an organization that contains them. Composition The formation of new open sets in an organization by combining others. Decomposition The formation of new open sets in an organization by partitioning others Birth Creation of new concurrent processes via the partitioning of disjoint subspace topologies. Death The termination of a process.
Constraints that are imposed on these transformations in organodynamics are discussed later in the slide Behavioral Constraints.	Next, we are going to add stochastic-ness to these transformations.
