Once More unto the System
指出“系统”概念因源于集合论而定义不清,从维度分析视角提出识别和映射系统的启发式方法,并概述确定系统边界的理论方案。
It is argued that the concept of “system” is poorly conceptualized largely because of its definitional roots in set theory. Starting from the viewpoint of dimensional analysis, several heuristics to guide the identification and mapping of systems are presented and a theoretical solution to determining system boundaries is outlined.
