Autopoiesis points to the basic hows underlying the homeostatic far-from-equilibrium states internal to the physiological organism that allow it to persist as a whole in the face of entropy.

The necessity of extended autopoiesis
Adaptive Behavior, 2019The theory of autopoiesis holds that an organism can be defined as a network of processes. However, an organism also has a physical body. The relationship between these two things—network and body—has been raised in this issue of Adaptive Behaviour, with reference to an extended interpretation of autopoiesis.

Journal of Law and Society, 1993
Like the economy and the royal family, autopoiesis has been receiving some bad publicity recently in Britain. What are we to make of a theory which apparently sees the legal system as firmly closed to all external influences' and which refuses even to accept the obvious fact that 'people make decisions'2?

Remarks on Autocatalysis and Autopoiesis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000Abstract: The notions of collective autocatalysis and of autopoiesis are clearly related; equally clearly, they are not quite the same. The purpose of this paper is to try to clarify the relationship. Specifically I suggest that autopoiesis can be at least roughly characterized as collective autocatalysis plus spatial individuation.

Autopoiesis: a review and a reappraisal
Naturwissenschaften, 2003The aim of the paper is to review critically the notion of autopoiesis as presented by Maturana and Varela. In particular, recognizing that there are difficulties in obtaining a complete and clear picture from the primary literature, an effort is made to present a coherent view-also based on many years of personal contact with Francisco Varela.

Characterizing Autopoiesis in the Game of Life
Artificial Life, 2015Maturana and Varela's concept of autopoiesis defines the essential organization of living systems and serves as a foundation for their biology of cognition and the enactive approach to cognitive science. As an initial step toward a more formal analysis of autopoiesis, this article investigates its application to the compact, recurrent spatiotemporal ...

The Hidden Truth of Autopoiesis
1999Abstract In interpretations of the ‘postmodern condition’, it is often stated that there are in our time sharply differentiated and irreducible rationalities that complicate human communications and interactions. Economic rationality, legal rationality, political rationality, and technical rationality are all indispensable for ...
