Osvaldo,

May I suggest you read / research  about “Entropy” and “autopoiesis”, you might find something about if you look for Niklas Luhmann, or Francisco Varela or Humberto Maturana.

There is also an article entitled “Luhmann in Love”, it talks about the Luhmannian concept of double contingency and love. (if i remember correctly)

You also write about 'close systems', Luhmann has an interesting concept of systems, he says that systems are only closed the moment of the operation. Luhmann's systems are formed around the concept of 'difference' so they are mostly open systems. I find this all so very facinating, so please let me know your findings.


Hope this information is useful
