Rereading the introduction to the 1969 _Systems Thinking: Selected Readings_ Penguin paperbook surfaces some choices by the editor #FredEEmery that I hadn't previously appreciated.
In his book "Life Itself” Robert Rosen, a mathematical biologist, argues that a living organization must include its own Final Cause. ... Note there is nothing in logic corresponding to final cause. Therefore, logic as it has been known is incapable of application to living systems. In this impoverished state of logic, Final Cause has been banished from science. ...what is required to make good scientific sense of Final Cause? What is required is the ability to formalize self-referential relations, relations of relations, entailments of entailments. --Norm Hirst, Advancing Human Knowledge #livingsystems #systems #life #organization #logic #order

Great new short (5mins) film out about it:
BIOPHYSICS + SYSTEMS. New book boils down the bio-physics of life down to four principles: (a.) self-assembly, or building instructions encoded in components themselves; (b.) regulatory circuits, or dynamics that constrain; (c.) predictable randomness, or sources of variation to put to the test given evolutionary dynamics; (d.) scaling, or size and shape dictate physical forms given forces at work.
I’ve been pondering the Constructal Law alongside my reading of Christopher Alexander’s _The Nature of Order_. That there doesn’t seem to be much written on the overlap of these two fields seems like a massive gap to me.
