This chapter provides a positive characterization of the notion of heterarchy in biology beyond mere divergence from hierarchy, by identifying some fundamental principles of heterarchical control in living systems...

Instead of seeing health as maintaining stable/balanced states, it proposes viewing it as adaptive change - the organism's ability to modify itself in relation to varying internal and external conditions.

The paper challenges the traditional "stability-focused" view of homeostasis in medicine and the idea of health as balance.
It reframes the notion of homeostasis from cybernetic feedback models to dynamic regulation and apply it to rethink health beyond balance.

the paper is part of a special issue on "Origins of life: the possible and the actual" with many interesting contributions
