Primes¶
- Adaptation
- Without a visible mechanism, claims of adaptation become unfalsifiable. Structural modification. The result of the process is a change in the system itself — not merely its momentary behavior but its configuration, such that the new behavior persists and propagates.
This sourceDevelops the structure of rugged fitness landscapes and attractor dynamics; supports the claim that adaptation changes the system's attractor (its configuration/regime), not merely its position within the current attractor.

- Autopoiesis
- A biological cell — the simplest paradigmatic autopoietic unity, related at the abstract level to the autocatalytic-set models Kauffman (1993) develops in The Origins of Order.
This sourceDevelops autocatalytic-set theory as a formal model of collective self-production in chemical reaction networks; closely related to but distinguished from autopoiesis (autocatalytic sets lack the boundary-production requirement)

- Bootstrapping
- Bootstrapping starts before the operating mode exists, in a qualitatively distinct intermediate state, with a seed that is a different kind of thing from the target, not a small version of it. Not autocatalysis. Autocatalysis (a Catalysis variant) is the chemical substrate where products catalyze their own production.
This sourceDevelops autocatalytic sets — networks whose products catalyze their own production — as the origin-of-life story, the chemical instance of the self-referential bootstrap lift.

- Bottom-Up Perspectives
This sourceAutocatalytic-set theory as a formal model of collective self-production in chemical reaction networks; self-organization alongside selection.

- Local Optimum
- And it runs from biology to strategy, where the fitness-landscape framing imports as "rugged landscape" analysis of competitive configurations, carrying the prediction that more interdependent configurations have more local optima.
This sourceThe NK model showing more interdependent (rugged) landscapes have more local optima.

- Self-Organization
- Kauffman (1993) modeled self-organization in genetic regulatory networks: complex developmental patterns and adaptive behavior emerge from regulatory-gene interactions without blueprint specifications, applicable to both biological and economic systems

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 8 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.
