Autopoietic system
Autopoietic system refers to autonomous, self -producing systems with self-defined boundaries.
Cells and organisms are examples. As self-producing systems they contain all the organizational information necessary for their own development and continuation. However, they depend on structural inputs. The systems tend to be homeostatic, have finite trajectories, are relatively predictable and rely on transmitted self-organization.
