"The
space within which the phenomenology of autopoiesis of living systems takes place."
(Maturana & Varela, 1980, p. 137) The usage of this term indicates that it denotes
what we typically address as matter and energy distributed in three-dimensional space.
"The physical space is defined by components that can be determined by operations
that characterize them in terms of properties such as masses, forces, accelerations,
distances, fields, etc." (Maturana & Varela, 1980, p. 112) |
