摘要：
The main objective of this paper is to explore a model of autopoiesis as presented by Maturana, Uribe and Varela (1974); more specifically, to analyse this model and its implications through the lens of the notions of eigenform and fixed points through a variety of different perspectives and examples. The paper also puts forward original philosophical reflections and generalizations about its various conclusions concerning specific examples, with the aim of contributing to a unified way of understanding living systems within the context of natural sciences and the pervasive nature of awareness and conscious observation.
