T1 - The regenerative management semantics: Structural couplings of non-social and social systems using nature as a regenerative medium?

N2 - This article explores how Social Systems Theory, with a focus on observation, can reinterprete regenerative semantics, as a semantics potentializing rearrangement of structural couplings for a more sustainable transition. It argues that regenerative thinking, models, and communication are rooted in third-order observations, addressing systemic challenges. The emergence of nature-based solutions, driven by new semantics, new market mechanisms, and digital technologies, is discussed, highlighting a structural rearrangement among social and non-social systems. The article illustrates various ways organizations organize nature-based solutions of what is observed as challenges for both livelihoods and Earth systems.
