A bstract : Self‐organized criticality refers to a mechanism whereby complex dissipative dynamical systems naturally evolve to a self‐sustaining critical point, exhibiting correlations on all length scales and time scales. A recent theory based on a real space renormalization group approach sheds light on fundamental aspects of the phenomenon.
