Invariant: 3.8 Autopoiesis / self-production

3.8 Autopoiesis / self-production

A system that continuously makes the components that make it. Sources: Maturana & Varela; Luhmann (social systems — T3). Domains: cells, organisms, (contested) institutions. Dual: allopoiesis (made by another). Tier: T2. Falsifier: life sustaining itself without self-production. Maps: A₈ (maker-system identity), A₁₂, the "living structure." (Your OIP reviewing and rewriting its own articles is an instance — flag it.)
