At first blush there feels like some overlap between the Viable System Model and Elinor Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development framework.

In that they both approach structures from a multi-level conceptual map, with units acting autonomously at each level but communicating between them. The polycentrism thing.

Would be interesting to compare and contrast them.
