SOCIOPLASTICS [1504] — Systems Theory as Autopoietic Organization — Regulation, Operational Closure, and Systemic Reproduction — Topology Fields — Tome II

  • 1. LAPIEZA

Description

This essay develops systems theory as the regulatory layer within a system of ten interdependent fields. The system persists through recursive operations, feedback, and self-reproduction. Regulation ensures continuity by controlling how structure, protocol, and validation reproduce over time. In relation to the other fields, systems regulation maintains linguistic structure, coordinates protocol execution, stabilises epistemic validation processes, ensures architectural support remains coherent, regulates territorial distribution, stabilises media mediation processes, governs morphogenetic growth, regulates circulation dynamics, and maintains infrastructural integration. Systems theory therefore explains how the system reproduces and maintains identity over time.
