What is it about?
This paper develops further a proposal for conversation at the American Society for Cybernetics — ASC2020 Global Conversation event, motivated by an exchange of emails with Ranulph Glanville in 2007. Drawing from the questions raised by myself and Glanville, this paper addresses the concept of autopoiesis and the possibility of revisiting the concepts of structure and organisation, which are discussed with an example of a transfunctional interface (structure) designed to invite people to set unpredictable organisations. It challenges the correspondence between structure and organisation and opens new questions to rethink cybernetics in the realm of relations.
