Résumé anglais Autonomous Development and Compensation This paper attempts at merging two ideas : the idea of universal compensation, expounded by Emerson and Azaïs, and the idea of functional relationship between two sets of data. If both the ideas can be seen as one, then it seems that a multiplicity of autonomous developments becomes not only unthinkable but also unobservable. There is room only for one single process of change, associating more and more interdépendant elements. Such a process coincides with an increase of social consciousness which is the same thing as the continuing effort of living matter to organize itself.
