Summary/Abstract: The problems of: a minimal “black box” and a minimal autonomous system (a concept proposed by Marian Mazur) are considered. Some biological implications are considered, too. A generalization of the autonomous system is used to present simple quantitative aspects of joining and optimization of functioning of such systems. Basic energetic strategies employed by organisms to prevent degeneration of their bodies are listed: extension, transformation of structure, rejecting worn out body parts.
