| The eco-industrial system, blending together with environment, is an open dynamic complex system. Many investigations have been conducted from perspectives of complex systems theories during past years. However, since the poor understanding on the essence of complex systems, available theories have made little breakthrough in well essentially explaining the characteristics and the process of generation or evolution of eco-industrial system. In this paper, basing on a proposal for new informational reality in world, eco-industrial system, along with anything in the world, is treated not as a "hard system" preexisted somewhere, but a "soft system" resulted from an informational process. In other word, eco-industrial system is generated and evolved as a living body during the process of maximizing the generalized information entropy. In this way, the essence of a complex eco-industrial system has been revealed. The dynamic equation that controls the generation and evolution of an eco-industrial system can accordingly be acquired and resolved, from which the underlying dynamics and fractal features can be deduced. Thus, a complete new framework for eco-industrial system can be built. At last, Lubei eco-industrial system is utilized as a typical case to show that this new framework or model is capable of giving renewed mechanistic understanding on our universal nature including eco-industrial system. In addition, it is also hopeful in better explaining or adjusting our real world, such as agent interactions, the fractal phenomena and evolution property, actual design of many specific eco-industrial systems. |
