- hhs 8y agoThis is interesting, especially with the points on "Establishment of an effective frame of reference" and "Crafting of a unifying lexicon", thank you. I still wonder if we're limited by our languages and need to consider constructs other than 'system'?
- alexpetralia 8y agoDamn, mind blown. Thanks for this.
- sideshowb 8y agoGiven that systems can contain other systems as it is, I don't see what this concept adds that people who work with complex systems (for example climate modelling) wouldn't be dealing with anyway?
- peterwwillis 8y agoIt's just an abstraction. Climate scientists know how to deal with their climate system, but they may not be equipped to then relate their data back to a military defense system or water treatment plant. SoS allows a different team to take a set of not-quite-related systems and analyze their interactions, similar to how a climate scientist might analyze climate models.
