What if software could evolve like life itself (not AI, but we're talking about the primary cause of this end result of AI!) —adapting, growing, and sustaining itself over generations? This is the remarkable story of Unix and C, two intertwined innovations born from the ashes of failure, shaped by simplicity, and driven by the principles of Autopoiesis—the self-sustaining processes we see in living systems.
This article is a docudrama retelling of how Unix and C were forged through co-metamorphosis, rooted in the natural principles of modularity, portability, and simplicity. It explores how these creations weren’t just tools but living systems, proving that the greatest innovations emerge not from grand designs, but from the quiet dance of evolution.
