System
A system is just an ordered grouping of Functions, in effect a group of functions make a system - weather systems, water systems, various animal and plant systems, human systems, mineral systems, planet systems, galaxy systems, star systems, insect systems, air systems and so on and so on.
It is an arbitrary term, because each time you break down a function into smaller sub-functions, one can consider the original function a system.
Our life is governed by systems. If we have thrived as a species it has been because we have created order from chaos.
But the universe – without the input of man – is a system too.
- For more details of the interactions between these systems of the universe – see Function dependencies
- For more details of the programming language of the systems – see the Word.
