Love the word "Autopoietic", nobody really knows about it and any text that uses it for sure will capture my interest.

I've first thought of this within the concept of self-assembling autonomous agents in 2016. Good times dreaming about a future where AI permeates every facet our lives.

Reminds me of:

"Differentiable Model of Morphogenesis"

Autopoiesis.

That word alone brings me back to systems engineering, and how everything was "like a biological cell" in modern practice.

This isn't really a network no? Just a 2D grid? Or am I missing something.

Niklas Luhmann's systems theory rests on autopoiesis.
