Learned a new concept today.
“This generalized view of autopoiesis considers systems as self-producing not in terms of their physical components, but in terms of its organization, which can be measured in terms of information and complexity. In other words, we can describe autopoietic systems as those producing more of their own complexity than the one produced by their environment.”
—Carlos Gershon “Requisite Variety, Autopoiesis, and Self-organization“
