The incipient or not yet perfected establisment of bonds between elements.
This concept is discussed by J. BRYANT (1991), p. 113-120) in relation with the progressively organizing linkages among neurons in the brain . He writes, about synaptic links between neurons: “We shall assume that (such) transient electrochemical states actually do occur when neurons fire; and we shall call them inchoate bonds, since they function in a matter similar to, and as prior conditions for the growth of a synaptic bond”(p.114)
Analogous mechanisms are probably active in any system developping the internal relational organization among its elements . It should be useful to discover their existence and characteristics in all complex systems in their formative process
The study of globalization processes in these terms could be useful
