Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: organizing principles for advancing research methods and approaches (2018, background): “The notion of complexity, seen as a systems property, expands on the ideas of systems thinking, and has been studied from a variety of perspectives (Bateson 1979, Prigogine and Stengers 1984, Rosen 1991, Holland 1995, Cilliers 1998, Arthur 1999, Levin 1999, Morin 2008).”

Requirements for Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems (2015, methodology): “This would entail the organisation of digital organisms more closely corresponding to the characterisation of living organisation as self-building, selfmaintaining and self-reproducing systems, e.g. (Varela et al., 1974; Rosen, 1991; Gánti et al., 2003).”
Defining Agency: Individuality, Normativity, Asymmetry, and Spatio-temporality in Action (2009, methodology): “…simulation models of minimal living organization became available: Varela, Maturana & Uribe, 1974 autopoietic theory of life, Tibor Gánti’s (2003a, 2003b) chemoton model, Stuart Kauffman’s (1971) auto-catalytic network theory, or Robert Rosen’s (1958) M-R systems (see Rosen 1991 for an overview).”
