....cause , and discusses the effectiveness of autopoiesis in systems sciences through imphcation from the model. I Introduction Autopoiesis gives a framework in which a system exists as an organism through physical and chemical processes, based on the assumption that organisms are machinary[6]. According to the original definition of it by Maturana and Varela, an autopoietic system is one that continuously produces the components that specify it, while at the same time realizing itself to be a concrete unity in space and time; this makes the network of production of components ....

.... more explicitly: Note that the boundary is an asymmetric distinction defining a limited space inside and a possibly infinite space outside (see [35] for a set theoretical treatment of such boundaries) In Maturana s words the function of the boundary is the organisation of a living being [14]. Organisation must not be misunderstood by Maturana s definition of structure. The organisation remains the same as long as the organism is alive. Maturana calls this structural coupling with the environment. The boundary has the function to maintain a desired state as good as possible by ....

....what it means for classes of structures with features to be equivalent. 1 Introduction A universe comes into being when a space is severed into two. A unity is de ned. The description, invention and manipulation of unities is at the base of all scienti c enquiry. H.B. Maturana, Autopoiesis, [14], p. 73. Thus begins the introduction to Maturana s seminal work. His speciality was originally vision so it is not surprising that visual examples are particularly appro Special thanks to Queena Lee who made me aware of the psychologists Feature set theory and provided references. 1 ....

He stood back, and said, 1 Maturana says in a note on page 6 of [14] that he would have used the word unit if his English had been better at the time. 2 i.e. the oor of the room. 3 In response to a question after his speech at the National Press Club in Canberra, Australia, 23 February 2000. 2 Not a single one of you saw the white sheet You all saw only ....

.... three indispensable functions of the proto cell: it has a metabolic cycle for assimilation; it maintains its membrane; and it replicate its genetic information [3] 4] Varela also insisted that the boundary of cells (i.e. the cell membrane) must be organized and maintained by the cell itself [9] [10] He presented a model on a two dimensional lattice of an autopoietic cell that can maintain its membrane. Our purpose in the present study is to demonstrate how such primitive cells can emerge and evolve from a simple set of chemical network. A model of selfmaintenance and self replicating ....

....in cognitive mechanisms is the nature of dynamics involved. Mechanisms like the ones developed here may be also regarded as a first step toward the realization of autopoietic systems : an autopoietic system is a homeostat . the critical variable is the system s own organization . [17], p. 66) In sum, we have shown that self assessment of performance by an agent is done with the aid of a double regulatory process and it allows it to become more operational in its work. This is in line with classical control theory, where regulatory mechanisms are used as the basis of behavior ....

....As pointed out in detail by Stewart (1996) this is not at all the case. We will see later that the interactive notion of cognition is largely compatible with modern CS and AI notions of situated and embodied intelligence (cf. Section 4) as well as modern theories of the biology of cognition (Maturana and Varela, 1980, 1987; cf. Section 5.3) 3. Computationalist AI 3.1 Cognitivism and Symbolic AI During the 1940s and 1950s a growing number of researchers, like von Uexkll and Piaget, discontent with behaviorism and mechanistic theories as the predominant paradigm in the study of mind and behavior, became ....
....of learning experience in connection weights as well as the (short term) representation of the controlled agent s current context or immediate past in the form of internal feedback. Peschl (1997) has pointed out that RNNs, like real nervous systems, are structure determined (cf. also Maturana and Varela, 1980), which means that their reaction to environmental stimuli always depends on the system s current state (or structure) and thus is never determined by the input alone. Peschl referred to this as the autonomy of a representational system . He further argued that in such recurrent networks ....

....1960, p. 52) By essential variables, he refers to those physiological variables that must be kept within limits for the organism to survive. By implication, this means that Ashby s definition of adaptive behaviour is a special case of other de nitions con ating adaptation and viability (e.g. Maturana and Varela, 1980, pp. xx xxi, 105) Such de nitions state that an organism remains adapted if its relation to its environment is such that the conservation of its identity and its condition of being alive are not interrupted. There are some problems with this view which will not be discussed here. In particular, ....
