Abstract

We focused on the interaction between a system and the environment, or the situatedness of the system of biological systems, and tried to realize it in our Organic programming language called Gaea. When we tried to design a system that allows rich interaction with the environment while taking advantage of being embedded in it, the interaction became a complex system. The view of the interaction of system with its environment led us to become aware of constructive methodology.
