--- abstract: 'Natural autonomous systems, such as biological, neural, social or cultural systems, are open, self-organized systems with a more or less large hierarchy of interacting complexity levels; they are able to memorize their experiences and to adapt to various conditions through a change of behavior. These last fifteen years, the Authors have developed a mathematical model for these systems, based on Category Theory. The aim of the paper is to give an overview of this model, called Memory Evolutive Systems.' altloc: - http://perso.wanadoo.fr/vbm-ehr/ chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Ehresmann given: Andree honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Vanbremeersch given: Jean-Paul honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1999-10 date_type: published datestamp: 2000-08-07 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/09/21 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 921 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/921/1/auef.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: ~ issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'evolutionary system, biological system, anticipatory system, complexity theory, category theory, neural network, philosophy of mind' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:22 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: | 1.
