Closure of constraints

One-liner: Interlocking processes and/or constraints that co-maintain each other so a coherent dynamic is self-sustaining.

In Juarrero’s usage

CCE stacks related closures: catalytic, autocatalytic, constraint, statistical, semantic. Beginners can treat “closure” as self-maintaining loops. Important for autonomy and for reframing determinism beyond Laplacean particle chains.

Not to confuse with

  • Logical “closed system” only
  • Social exclusivity (“closed club”) alone

Everyday example

A mutual credit network where participation regenerates the conditions of further participation.
