Complex self-organizing systemSteven Johnson in the selection "The Myth of the Ant Queen" talks about the intelligence and skill of the members in a low-level complex system that leads to 'self-organization organize yourself into a higher-level system. Johnson emphasizes that the self-organizing system is not set or controlled by an external source, but is set and controlled based on each individual's internal intelligence. The bottom-up system is not like a pacemaker, which organizes, controls and tells others what to do or how to do, but is instinct or natural law that requires no leader or reinforcement from outside. In “The Myth of the Ant Queen” Johnson also talks about a research into urban life that is not guided and controlled by a leader or a pacemaker, everyone is busy doing their own thing in their own way. Johnson's idea of ​​self-organizing complex systems challenges and brings a different understanding of Azar Nafisi's perspective on her memoir “Reading Lolita in Tehran” on the situation of women in Iranian society and their limited access to external sources. In a way, Iran's social and political system is the same as an ant colony, Ayatollah Khomeini is the leader but obviously he doesn't control or tell everyone what to do or not do. In fact, Islamic rules and regulations have become an internal guide for women pushing them to follow the guidelines of Islam even if they are not told to do so. Therefore, Johnson's perspective of self-organizing complex systems sheds light on Azar Nafisi's argument about Iranian society and government and its restrictions on women's lives being based more on Islamic models. These patterns are followed naturally and women's way of dressing became a natural and accepted way of being a woman in Iran... mid-paper... the nineteenth century did not legally become a city until the great explosion" ( Johnson 171). It is recognized that in fact no pacemaker directed the course of the city's development. Johnson draws a parallel between the ant colony and the city of Manchester. He explains that in both systems there is a curious case where the order emerged from what seems nowhere. However, he does not think that they live randomly; it explains something about systems in general that leads to the self-organization of Johnson's idea of ​​system that creates a different understanding of society Iranian and women's governance, and the organization of their daily life from dressing and what things can be involved outside the home. Therefore, it is possible to see the lifestyle and identity of women in Iran as a self-organized system based on models of Islamic law rather than government oppression..
