Autopoiesis is a concept originally developed by Chilean biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in the early 1970s. The term describes the self-producing, self-maintaining, and self-organizing characteristics of living systems. Specifically, an autopoietic system is one that is capable of maintaining its own organization and structure through its internal processes.
