- Biological regulation: controlling the system from within (2015, neutral): “Furthermore, once a hierarchical order of regulatory controls has proved feasible, this opens up the path toward the creation of new higher orders (Moreno and Mossio 2015).”
- Natural Agency: The Case of Bacterial Cognition (2017, background): “A recent attempt to avoid this commitment appeals to the distinctive ‘autonomous’ organization of living systems (Barandiaran et al. 2009; Moreno and Mossio 2015; see also Juarrero 1999).”
