Abstract: Spontaneous order is an unsatisfactory concept. It needs to be reinterpreted both in terms of its meaning and its causation. It will be argued that the purpose of a self-ordering society is not to achieve some political or moral end such as liberty or virtue, but to enable its members to maximize the probability of survival and prosperity. Ironically the instrument by which survival and prosperity are achieved is also the unwitting source of the self-ordering system. This principle of societal order is the unfolding dynamic strategy.
