    ...If you check the prerequisites for #autopoietic systems (as developed by #Varela), we might reach the conclusion that #AGI is already quite close to #Autopoiesis.
    (Note:
    The late #NiklasLuhmann is 1 of the most difficult authors to read and his works are chiefly available in German; I haven't studied him in a long time, so I cannot apply his whole concept to #AI, of which I also do not enough of).
    Why does #Autopoiesis + #SocialSystemsTheory..

  2. Reading this recent (2022) article from Fritjof Capra:
    The organization of the living:
    Maturana’s key insights
    included in the latest Constructivist Foundations volume 18(1): 005–011

    and I am continually bewildered by the fact that no one in the #Constructivist field figured out yet that #Autopoiesis, although necessary, is not the sufficient condition for #Life.

    All #LivingSystems are in fact #DynamicalSystems with memory made of #Material, #Energy, and #Information structures participating continually in both auto- and allopoietic processes.

    In fact, the recursive, #Autopoietic processes of learning and growth depend only on (are “structurally coupled” with) the linear #Allopoietic work processes dealing with all the things (resources, waste) in the system’s environment and producing the externally observable #behavior of the living (dynamical) system.
