Autopoiesis and Eigenform

Computation, 2023
This paper explores a formal model of autopoiesis as presented by Maturana, Uribe and Varela, and analyzes this model and its implications through the lens of the notions of eigenforms (fixed points) and the intricacies of Goedelian coding.

Autopoiesis and Its Efficacy—A Metacybernetic View

Systems, 2021
This paper seeks to explain the nature of autopoiesis and its capacity to be efficacious, and to do this, it uses agency theory as embedded in metacybernetics. Agency, as a generalised intelligent adaptive living system, can anticipate the future once it

Autocatalysis, Autopoiesis, and the Opportunity Cost of Individuality. [PDF]

Biomimetics (Basel)
Ever since Varela and Maturana proposed the concept of autopoiesis as the minimal requirement for life, there has been a focus on cellular systems that erect topological boundaries to separate themselves from their surrounding environment.

Autopoiesis, creativity and dance [PDF]

Connection Science, 2017
For many years three key aspects of creative processes have been glossed over by theorists eager to avoid the mystery of consciousness and instead embrace an implicitly more formal, computational vision: autonomy, phenomenality and the temporally ...

An Investigation into the Origin of Autopoiesis [PDF]

Artificial Life, 2020
Using a glider in the Game of Life cellular automaton as a toy model of minimal persistent individuals, this article explores how questions regarding the origin of life might be approached from the perspective of autopoiesis.

Central Dogma Cycle and Network: A Model for Cell Memory. [PDF]

Bioessays
This paper revisits the Central Dogma, expanding it to the Central Dogma cycle (CDC) and Central Dogma cyclic network (CDCN). These models frame cellular memory as a system of logic‐based processes with an architecture of interconnected cycles that more accurately describe cellular information flow in cells. ABSTRACT This paper proposes an extension of

The appropriation of autopoiesis in architecture

Frontiers of Architectural Research
This study investigates the merits of the cross-disciplinary appropriation of the theory of autopoiesis in Patrik Schumacher's The Autopoiesis of Architecture. In this two-volume work, Schumacher builds upon Luhmann's sociological adoption of Maturana et

Implications of Second-Order Cybernetics and Autopoiesis on Systems-of-Systems Engineering

Systems
Systems-of-systems are often characterized as systems where the constituent parts have some independence from the whole. Recent research has aimed at clarifying in more detail what this independence means.
