It certainly seems that issues about information in "general-evolution",
self-organizing systems, and the like fall into the "generative" category;
while morphology and structuralist descriptions in general (from phenomenology
on out) are "constitutive". Biological processes in general may start out
constitutive, but upon close examination turn out the be generative, as may the
universe itself, and consciousness (or at least the mind).
