Primes¶
- Closure
- Autopoiesis (Maturana and Varela, 1972 onwards) is the closure property of living systems: an autopoietic system is closed under the production of its own components, in the sense that the network of molecular processes constituting the system continuously regenerates the network itself. Circular economy design takes material-flow closure (every output of one process is an input to another, with minimal external resource extraction and minimal external waste output) as the central engineering principle; the closure profile of an industrial-ecology design is the primary measure of its sustainability, a framework the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (2013) develops as the canonical reference for circular-economy design.

This sourceEllen MacArthur Foundation. Canonical statement of design-for-disassembly, reuse, and material-flow closure — every output of one process is an input to another, with minimal external resource extraction and waste output — as the central engineering principle of circular-economy design, quantifying lifecycle material-cost savings from keeping products/components in use.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a 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.
