Living systems: Basic concepts
Behavioral Science, 1965The first issue of this journal began with an editorial which said in part: “Our present thinking—which may alter with time—is that a general theory will deal with structural and behavioral properties of systems. The diversity of systems is great. The molecule, the cell, the organ, the individual, the group, the society are all examples of systems ...

Living systems: The organization
Behavioral Science, 1972General systems behavior theory is concerned with seven levels of living systems—cell, organ, organism, group, organization, society, and supranational system. An exposition of the basic concepts in this theory appeared in “Living Systems: Basic Concepts,” Behavioral Science, 1965, 10, 193–237.

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1970
Abstract An analysis is made of the terms isometric symmetry, homeomorphic symmetry, temporal symmetry and generative symmetry . It is shown that the quest for symmetry is motivated by an esthetical attitude which prefers constancy and “being” to mutability and change.

Abstract Continuous non-destructive in vivo biochemical measurements have been a desired but seemingly unattainable goal for many years. Now, however, the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) seems to be close to reaching that end. This review can be divided into two sections.

The chapter focuses on two basic objectives: a) to introduce and qualitatively examine the concept of logically living system as abstract prototype for any possible auto-poietic system and b) to analyse the co-evolution as matrix of autopoieticity of any system.

Living Manufacturing Systems with Living Organizations
2002Borrowing the title of Nobel-prize laureate physicist Erwin Schrodinger’s work “What is Life?”[1], we ask “What are Living Systems?” This paper attempts to answer the question by looking at a manufacturing information system and an organization model as examples.

Life is definitively purposive and creative. Organisms use genes in controlling their destiny. This book presents a paradigm shift in understanding living systems. The genome is not a code, blueprint or set of instructions. It is a tool orchestrated by the system.

Action Research, 2004
In this article I explore how ideas of systemic thinking, drawn from the work of Gregory Bateson and others, influence my practice of first-person action research. I track a story of inquiry through several phases, including gaining feedback from others about my behaviour.
