There is a more formal description of systems thinking (see 'Thinking in Systems', Donella H. Meadows, for examples) that describe systems as components driving feedback loops and how they generate equilibrium or degenerate states, and where the best leverage is to alter the states of those systems. But I have a feeling it's yet another topic that's been diluted by consult-speak.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoYes signals and systems is a theoretical thing which is not what the person is describing here. ME and EE's learn it, but it's largely absent from CS. Type theory or Category theory is probably closer to a formal description of the "intuition" behind the article.
- kesor 7y agoThen there is this field called ... Cybernetics ... which is actually a field that studies systems! gasp
- crimsonalucard 7y agogasp! another word for control theory! gasp!
- Terretta 7y agoPronounce it in Greek though and add it to your resume.
- dredmorbius 7y agoCybernetics, operations research, control theory, and systems dynamics are all strongly overlapping fields, if not simply different names for the same thing.
