¶ System
Index Entry
System:
"A system is a patterning of force that returns upon itself in all directions-- that is, a closed configuration of vectors.
"Insofar as a system loops back on itself, its dimensions are limited; hence the system is finite. It has an inside and an outside: ‘withinness’ and ‘withoutness.’ Every system consequently divides the universe into two parts; that which is within the system, and that which is external. A plane (as defined by Euclid) can not constitute a system, because a plane is conceived to be a surface without limit. It extends on an on, to infinity, never returning on itself, never developing inwardness or outwardness.
"It is characteristic of a system that the angles around its vertexes must be concave or convex with respect to the position from which they are viewed-- concave if looked at from the interior space, convex when viewed from outside.
