Paper summary
Argues that autopoiesis alone needs an account of adaptivity to explain regulation relative to viability. The conceptual analysis develops links among self-maintenance, intrinsic values, sense-making, and agency.
Relevance to the project
Directly informs the unresolved origin of behavioral evaluation: distinguish observer-defined success from regulation produced by the candidate system's own organization.
A philosophical framework is not an implemented or validated measurement rule.
