Instance Specification Complexity to Closure to Life (Hoffmeyer)
"Complexity leads to autocatalytic closure, and autocatalytic closure leads to life. 'The secret of life, the wellspring of reproduction, is not to be found in the beauty of Watson-Crick pairing ... but in the achievement of collective catalytic closure. The roots are deeper than the double helix and are based in chemistry itself. So, in another sense, life - complex, whole, emergent - is simple after all, a natural outgrowth of the world in which we live' " ( Kauffman)
