The quoted phrase that I quoted above is from the following source: Maturana, Humberto R./Varela, Francisco J. (1980): Autopoiesis and Cognition. The Realization of the Living. Dordrecht: Reidel, p. 13.

Please see the following links in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humberto_Maturana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Varela "Living systems <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_systems> are cognitive systems, and living as a process is a process of cognition. This statement is valid for all organisms, with or without a nervous system." I hope is useful.

Do any of you have some specific examples from biology, ecology, and the like of natural patterns and systems that are in some way similar to OST? Thanks!
