Social Systems and Autopoiesis

<p>There are no social systems without communication. The communication communicates. To produce and reproduce themselves, social systems theory adopts the term autopoiesis and broadens its frame of reference to communications that reproduce based on other communications and thus establish the unity of the system.</p> <p>Every autopoietic system is identified by operational closure, meaning that the processes leading to the generation of new elements in the system depend on earlier operations within the same system.
