The principle of domain structure of natural self-organizing systems is easy to explain. It was first proposed almost a hundred year ago by a French physicist Pierre-Ernest Weiss in relation to the structure of ferromagnetics. The idea that any natural self-organizing system has a domain structure is much more difficult to demonstrate on real objects, and the details of a domain structure, the shape and size of domains, as well as other specific features of a given domain organization cannot be determined a priori even when complete information on all of the attributes of individual components of a system is available. Natural self-organizing systems are inherently and highly anisotropic - from the standpoint of understanding anisotropy as the antonym of isotropy, i.e. not just the changing of a system’s properties depending on the direction, but a radical restructuring in all the directions depending on the vector of an impact.
