@Jessie, I wonder about statements you made elsewhere in this graph about Rosen's modeling relation, if taken deeper, don't already offer hints. In some sense, you summarize that well when you say "Complex natural systems are made with working parts that are NOT of the same design, using a PL of relationships between disconnected and incompatible things, as the basis for reality."

Aspects of your question are entailed in Rosen's writings, especially in his book Life Itself. A sort-of naive guess is that he would talk first not of those "parts", but rather would put emphasis on relations. His mentor, Rashevsky, in a paper Topology and Life, told the story about our ability to tease open a living cell and count all the parts, but then the cell is not alive anymore and we are clueless why that is so. It was Rashevsky who coined the term Relational Biology, from which Rosen's work emerged.
