Abstract: In this paper we explore the mathematical structure of hierarchical organization in smooth dynamical systems. We start by making precise what we mean by a level in a hierarchy, and how the higher le vels need to respect the dynamics on the lower levels. We derive a mathematical construction for identifying distinct levels in a hierarchical dynamics. The construction is expressed through a quotient manifold of the phase space and a Lie group that fulfills certain requirement with respect to the flow. We show that projections up to higher levels can be related to symmetries of the dynamical system. We also discuss how the quotient manifold projections relate to invariant manifolds, invariants of the motion, and Noether's theorem.
