The metaphor suggests that different environments favor different species of organizations based on different methods of organizing and that congruence with the environment is the key to success.

Any system that insulates itself from diversity in the environment tends to atrophy and lose its complexity and distinctive nature

Gareth Morgan

To self-regulate, learning systems must be able to
1. Sense, monitor and scan significant aspects of their environment,
2. Relate this information to the operating norms that guide system behavior
3. Detect significant deviations from these norms, and
4. Initiate corrective action when discrepancies are detected.
If these four conditions are satisfied, a continuous process of information exchange is created between a system and its environment, allowing the system to monitor changes and initiate appropriate responses. In this way, the system can operate in an intelligent, self-regulating manner
