The concept of relativistic structural entropy is used to describe capture phenomena and hierarchical dynamics in general systems. After a background on relativistic information and the relativistic description of general systems, as previously introduced by the author, the dynamics of hierarchical systems which modify their hierarchy are considered; and the problem is completely solved for a quantum model composed of three elements. Conditions for capture and hierarchy are given, as well as conditions for isolation. It is shown that this approach may be a way to attack the morphogenesis problem considered as a problem of growing of forms, and the connection with the catastrophe theory by Thom emerges. Some examples are given to illustrate how one can identify the variables of the general model in practical problems. |
