Abstract
Complex Event Processing is studied in the frame of Memory Evolutive Systems, a mathematical model, based on category theory, for evolutionary self-organized hierarchical systems such as biological, social or cognitive systems. Their self-organization depends on the interactions between a net of internal functional subsystems, each operating at its own rhythm. We show how the cooperation/competition between these ’coregulators’ is at the root of ubiquitous complex events. The property leading to the emergence of higher order complex events is characterized: it is the "Multiplicity Principle" (a kind of ’degeneracy’ property) satisfied in particular by neuro-cognitive systems where it allows for the development of higher order cognitive processes, up to consciousness.
