The succession of states through which a system returns to its optimal state after some perturbation.
This concept is basically an ecological one.
It could however be extended to any system and is closely related to the autopoietic and organizational closure model.
Regeneration cycles are specific to dynamic equilibrium systems. It is however somewhat doubtful if any system at all is able to regenerate itself perfectly.
