Autopoiesis Skill

"A system is autopoietic if it continuously produces itself through its own operations while maintaining its organization." — Maturana & Varela (1980)

1. Core Concept

Autopoiesis = self-production + self-maintenance + self-boundary

In the context of AI agents:

• Self-production: Agent spawns new skills/capabilities
• Self-maintenance: Agent validates its own consistency (reafference)
• Self-boundary: Capabilities define what agent can/cannot do (OCapN)
