The work develops a meta-theoretical ontology of living systems. It uses the free energy principle to formalize autopoiesis. Autopoiesis refers to self-producing systems that maintain their own organization through continuous exchanges with the environment.\\n\\nThe authors link thermodynamic free-energy minimization to the persistence of biological boundaries. They propose a multiscale formulation that applies across levels from cells to societies. This formulation treats living systems as systems that minimize variational free energy. Minimization maintains non-equilibrium steady states.\\n\\nCore result one: the free energy principle supplies a statistical mechanics account of autopoietic self-organization. Core result two: this account supports the life-mind continuity thesis. Self-organizing processes at biological scales extend to cognitive and social scales.\\n\\n## Exact primary works and passages\\n\\nThe primary work is Ramstead MJD, Badcock PB, Friston KJ.

Physics of Life Reviews. 2018 Mar;24:1-16. doi: 10.1016/j.plrev.2017.09.001.\\n\\nVerifiable passages appear in the abstract and summaries available on PubMed and ScienceDirect. The abstract states the aim is to synthesise advances with a meta-theoretical ontology called variational neuroethology. It integrates evolutionary systems theory and the free energy principle. The paper proposes a multiscale formulation of the free energy principle.\\n\\nRelated passages in citing works reference the hierarchical free energy formulation that encompasses autopoiesis.
