¶ System (1)
Index Entry
A system is the first subdivision of Universe. It divides all the Universe into three parts; – firstly-- all of the Universe outside the system; secondly-- all of the Universe within the system; and thirdly-- the small remainder of Universe components which constitute the system considered.
A system is an enclosure consisting of a conceptual aggregate of recalled experience items, or events, having inherent insideness and outsideness. A system is the antithesis of nonsystem, which latter lacks omnidirectional definition. Nonsystems, such as theoretical planes or straight lines cannot be found experimentally. We are scientifically bound to experimentally demonstrable systems thinking. All systems are subject to comprehension and can be coped with systematically.
General systems theory treats with phenomena which are holistically comprehensible. The objects of our experience are finite systems. Their superficial outline closes back on itself multidirectionally as a systematic continuity of relevantly contiguous events. They are thus separable from other systems. There are systems comprised of systems.
