Structure
the actual relations which hold between the components which integrate a concrete machine in a given space. (Maturana and Varela, 1979)
There are at least three near synonymous definitions. (1) The complex of concurrent relations among a set of objects with the number of objects more numerous than the ordinality of the relations connecting them, e.g. a graph, a network . (2) A multitude of coocurrances or values, n-tuples, that deviate from chance in some but not all respects. Here structure is manifest in the probability distribution that a system with a structure as defined in (1) is capable of generating. (3) A pattern that connects the components of a machine or organism, e.g., the command structure of a military unit see (3), the distribution of obligations and responsibilities in a formal organization see (2), the wiring in a piece of electronic equipment see (1). The components which are connected within a concrete system, machine, organism or society, enter the description of that system's structure but not that system's organization. (Krippendorff )

Structure
Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. From a child's verbal description of a snowflake, to the detailed scientific analysis of the properties of magnetic fields, the concept of structure is an essential foundation of nearly every mode of inquiry and discovery in science, philosophy, and art.
