Changes

In the Western educational system, physics, biology, and chemistry teach us skills to analyze and understand phenomena around us. The phenomenon of life is often tackled with list of essential features that living beings exhibit. In traditional biology, homeostasis, organization, metabolism, growth, adaption, response to stimuli, reproduction are among the commonly identified features of living beings. From a systemic perspective, life is identified as a self-organizing and autopoietic (self-reproducing) entity. What does it mean to be alive? Like actually be a living being? My theory and hope are that the reunderstanding re-understanding of what living beings are will inform us about being a good being yourself.

If we comapare compare swarm robots, artificial intelligence, and factories with plants, humans, or cells, a common shared feature among the living is that they can take care of themselves. They are entities concerned with self-maintenance (Capra 2014[^sytemsView]).

The spiritual and simultaneously technical insight that living beings defend their identity. In the mathematical language, they defend and reproduce their topology, their ... Once a brain cell is developed is stays a brain cell. Likewise, the heart, its own autopeitic autopoietic system, will do everything to stay in heart-shape. Following the idea of life as autopoietic, occurring on many different scales, makes it hard to distinguish the boundaries of any organism. An organ is a self-reproducing entity within the human body. But animals and humans are self-reproducing entities that serve to create even larger self-reproducing systems such as a pack of wolf, protestant community, or college.

autopoeitic systems exist The autopoietic view on life shines a light on the small scaleliving, but obviously occur on re-producing nature of systems, in which living beings immerse themselves. A conservative institution such as Harvard seeks to maintain itself throughout the course of time and disruptions. Looking at systems that arose from living beings as autopoietic systems allows us to understand the level nature of a whole Organismself-reproduction of human-made institutions.

<quoteblockquote>An autopoietic system is to be contrasted with an allopoietic system, such as a car factory, which uses raw materials (components) to generate a car (an organized structure) which is something other than itself (the factory). However, if the system is extended from the factory to include components in the factory's "environment", such as supply chains, plant / equipment, workers, dealerships, customers, contracts, competitors, cars, spare parts, and so on, then as a total viable system it could be considered to be autopoietic.<quote/blockquote>

Such an understanding of the occurrence of self-reproducing orgasms on any level is crucial in developing an eye for the hidden power flows that keep our institutions alive. The life force is in our systems as much as it is in our cells. White supremacy and other systems that resulted from koloniasim colonialism are contemporary examples for of power dynamics that make the fight for systemic justice so hard.  The phenomenon of life and its undeWestern capitalist system, majorly based on power-structures from colonialism, is a reproducing organism that will resist when systematic change occurs.
