[OSList] patterns in nature and open space

[JL Walker]

The quoted phrase that I quoted above is from the following source:
Maturana, Humberto R./Varela, Francisco J. (1980): Autopoiesis and
Cognition. The Realization of the Living. Dordrecht: Reidel, p. 13.

Hi Chris and all,

 

While I've not studied them sufficiently, I think that Humberto Maturana and
Francisco Varela have many of the answers that you are looking for through
its formulation of the process called “autopoiesis”.

 

Please see the following links in Wikipedia:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humberto_Maturana

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Varela

 

"Living systems <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_systems>  are cognitive
systems, and living as a process is a process of cognition. This statement
is valid for all organisms, with or without a nervous system."

 

I hope is useful.

 

Hugs,

 

Juan Luis

Hi OSList,

 

I am interested in ways that OST and other methodologies flow according to
patterns that are present in living systems in nature (Some would use the
term biomimicry).

 

Do any of you have some specific examples from biology, ecology, and the
like of natural patterns and systems that are in some way similar to OST?

 

Thanks!

Chris
