The Interconnectedness Of Life

Paper Summary:

The Living systems theory says that all living things are connected in the "web of life". This paper looks at what concepts all living systems have in common and gives examples of how these systems function through boundaries, codes, reproduction and many more. This paper explains how these living systems are wholes whose explicit construction arise from the connections and interacting reliance of their parts.

From the Paper:

"The general premise of how all living systems work is called the Living Systems Theory. This includes how these systems sustain themselves, expand themselves, and transform themselves. To clarify this theory even more, living systems are open, self managing systems that have the unique distinctiveness of being alive, and intermingled with their surroundings. In the new millennium this theory is beginning to become more and more popular. Although, it has actually been around since the beginning of the 1930's, and is rooted in several scientific fields which according to Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life are "organismic biology, Gestalt psychology, cybernetics, general systems theory and ecology." (Capra, 1996)."
