Not just limited to engineering, you also just described one hypothesis for the manifestation of biological cancers through systems biology. "Most solid tumors arise from a spectrum of genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal alterations. [...] molecular alterations can be classified by dysfunction in as many as six different regulatory systems that must be perturbed for a normal cell to become cancerous [...] The mere recognition of cancer as a systems biology disease is a key first step. This hypothesis views the individual defects observable in solid tumors cumulatively as system failures either at the cellular or multicellular level."
