I’m on thin ice here. A systems complexity can be measured in the number of tops it has. As in different ways to see it as hierarchical. Could it be that OO favors systems with one top? The tomato example comes to mind. Is it a fruit or vegetables? According to American law it was classified as vegetable at some point to meet a political need to limit imports. Of course botanically it’s a fruit but usually perceived as a vegetable. So three tops identified just in this example. Depends on context; import, science or consumers.
