标题： The Nature of Organization in Living Systems

摘要： 生命系统在热力学上是开放的，但在组织上是封闭的。 换句话说，尽管它们的物质组分不断更新，但存在一种不受物质影响的特性持续存在，我们称之为组织。 此外，组织来源于生物体自身，这要求我们解释这种自组织是如何建立和维持的。 在本文中，我们提出一个数学和概念框架，以理解生命系统所具有的组织系统类型，旨在解释自组织如何从更基本的元素过程产生。 此外，我们将自己的观点与理论生物学和哲学中的现有传统进行映射，旨在使主要形式思想达成概念一致。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Living systems are thermodynamically open but closed in their organization. In other words, even though their material components turn over constantly, a material-independent property persists, which we call organization. Moreover, organization comes from within organisms themselves, which requires us to explain how this self-organization is established and maintained. In this paper we propose a mathematical and conceptual framework to understand the kinds of organized systems that living systems are, aiming to explain how self-organization emerges from more basic elemental processes. Additionally, we map our own notions to existing traditions in theoretical biology and philosophy, aiming to bring the main formal ideas into conceptual congruence.
