Primes¶
- Autopoiesis
- Autopoiesis is the self-production principle, as Maturana and Varela (1980) develop it, that: (1) a system is autopoietic when it continuously produces the components that compose it, and those components in turn produce and maintain the network of processes that produces them — so the system's identity is constituted not by any fixed set of parts but by the self-sustaining process of parts producing themselves; a boundary distinguishing the system from its environment is itself produced and maintained by the same internal processes, not imposed from outside
This sourceFirst widely circulated formal characterization of autopoietic organization in English, with a minimal protocell-style computational model demonstrating recursive component production and self-bounded closure.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
