Which thinker inspired New Historicists with the concept of "self-regulating systems"?

Explanation

New Historicists adopted the idea of "self-regulating systems" from Claude Lévi-Strauss, who emphasized structures that maintain and regulate themselves within cultural contexts. Theodor W. Adorno, Julia Kristeva, and Jacques Derrida contributed to critical theory and post-structuralism but did not specifically propose this concept.
