Abstract: It is natural to advance closures as "atomic" processes of universal evolution, and to analyze this concept specifically. While real complex systems like organisms and complex mechanisms cannot exist at either extreme of complete closure or lack of closure, nevertheless we should consider the properties of closures in general: the introduction of boundaries; a corresponding stability; the establishment of system autonomy and identity; and thereby the introduction of emergent new systems of ...

...is actually quite familiar to us. First, these ideas are present either implicitly or explicitly at the foundations of systems theory [2, 4, 21]. Indeed, based on the above criteria there is very little to distinguish an agent from some general sense of system . Secondly, it...
