I need to research this a bit more, but I haven't
found any specific mentions of G. Spencer Brown, specifically. However, many
related names are discussed:D'Arcy Thompson, Rene' Thom, Walter Elsasser,
Maturana and Varela, Darwin, Ernst Haeckel, etc. I'll let you know if I find
something more direct.

Subject: [ROSEN] Rosen and the Laws of
Form
I notice that G. Spencer Brown's Laws of Form is listed on the panmere
Rosen site. Did RR ever comment on Laws of Form?
I do not claim to understand Laws of Form's philosophical aspects but one
connection I could think of is Spencer Brown's claim that Time
emerges in his purely formal world (based only on the concept of distiniction)
via construction of self-referential statement.
I heard that Varela used Laws of Form calculus in something related
Autopoesis but I do not know enough about that to comment.
