Self-organization has been correlated with an increase in order, i.e. a reduction of entropy (Gershenson and Heylighen, 2003). If emergence implies an increase of information, which is analogous to entropy and disorder, self-organization should be anti-correlated with emergence. We propose as the measure {\it S = 1 − I = 1 − E}.  As measure we We  can define complexity C as the balance between change (chaos) and stability (order). We have just defined such measures: emergence and self-organization. Hence we propose: {\it C = 4 · E · S.}. Where the constant 4 is added to normalize the measure to [0, 1]
