Enaction<br />

• Autopoiesis<br />

– Thus, its organization is constituted by relations between<br />

components that by their interaction and transformation<br />

continuously regenerate the network <strong>of</strong> processes that<br />

produce them<br />

– That is, the relations among components -- a network <strong>of</strong><br />

processes <strong>of</strong> production --- produce the components<br />

themselves<br />

– A significant aspect <strong>of</strong> autopoiesis is that its function is to<br />

`create and maintain the unity that distinguishes it from the<br />

medium in which it exists'.<br />
