Abstract

Some research works have mentioned the similarity of autopoiesis with (M, R) systems proposed by Rosen, from the perspective of closedness of the systems. However, there are some difference between the aspects of closedness required for autopoiesis and (M, R) systems. This paper aims at clarifying these differences to investigate the possibility of algebraic description of living systems, based on category theoretic frameworks.
