  In this essay I aim to investigate and discuss the process through which
bundles of things "self-organize" into other things. In particular, I engage in
such investigation by trying to apply a framework of analysis of structural
stability of morphological forms to the context of a continuous cellular
automata known as $\textit{Lenia}$, which displays great diversity of
distinguishable, individuated complex subsystems, who behave autonomously and
in lifelike manner (such subsystems are often known as $\textit{solitons}$). I
do so in order to suggest a path to the development of methods to formally
distinguish said subsystems from their environment.
