Towards a definition of living systems: A theory of ecological support for behavior
Acta Biotheoretica 26 (3):153-163 (1977)
Abstract
It is proposed that the Darwinian theoretical approach and account of living systems has not yet been clearly given. A first approximation to this is attempted, focussing on behavior in evolving environments. A theoretical terminology is defined emphasizing the mutuality of organism and environment and the existence of biologically theoretical entities.My notes
