Selectively advantageous instability in biotic and pre-biotic systems and implications for evolution and aging [PDF]
Frontiers in AgingRules of biology typically involve conservation of resources. For example, common patterns such as hexagons and logarithmic spirals require minimal materials, and scaling laws involve conservation of energy. Here a relationship with the opposite theme is

Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 2022 All living beings use autopoiesis and cognition to manage their “life” processes from birth through death. Autopoiesis enables them to use the specification in their genomes to instantiate themselves using matter and energy transformations.

Autopoiesis in Creativity and Art [PDF]
Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Movement and Computing, 2016 The term autopoiesis, (meaning 'self') and 'poiesis' (meaning 'creation, production') defines a system capable of reproducing and maintaining itself. The term was introduced by the theoretical biologists, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, in 1972 to define the self-maintaining chemistry of living cells. The term has subsequently also been applied

Autopoiesis of the artificial: from systems to cognition
Biosyst., 2023 In the seminal work on autopoiesis by Varela, Maturana, and Uribe, they start by addressing the confusion between processes that are history dependent and processes that are history independent in the biological world.

Modeling autopoiesis and cognition with reaction networks
Biosyst., 2023 Maturana and Varela defined an autopoietic system as a self-regenerating network of processes. We reinterpret and elaborate this conception starting from a process ontology and its formalization in terms of reaction networks and chemical organization ...
