von FOERSTER biocomputation, in the words of W.R. WINBURN “… reveals how the structure of the nervous system and the recursive nature of neural events determine an organizationally closed process of cognitive development…
von FOERSTER explains how autopoiesis and cognition may operate in accordance with the mathematics of recursive function theory, in which an infinite series of recursive operations in a closed algebraic system develops stable values that produce themselves (i.e., eigen values, the German term for self-values) (1991, p.565).
