....entailed by closure is hierarchy, or the recognition of discrete levels in complex systems. Thus the results of our discussion can be seen in the work of the hierarchy theorists. In particular, Salthe recognizes these as scalar hierarchies in physical systems [24] A number of systems theorists [3, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27] have advanced theories which recognize distinct hierarchical levels over vast ranges of phyiscal space. Each of these levels can, in fact, be related to a level of physical closure in our sense, that is some circularly flowing forces among a set of entities, for example among particles, cells, or ....
