The diagram shows rearrangement of the classical ecological/system hierarchy. From left to right the columns represent interaction systems, operators and internal differentiations (Gerard Jagers op Akkerhuis). The diagram was published at page 249 of Jagers op Akkerhuis, G.A.J.M. (2010). The operator hierarchy: a chain of closures linking matter, life and artificial intelligence.
