Hi there,
I post this request with enormous reluctance since it must have been asked
and answered so many times. Unfortunately I can't find it in my own
archives.
I want to generate some discussion about the notion of a "system" at a
workshop I'm running next week. I thought it would be a good idea to
circulate a dozen or so "classic" definitions of "system" and get people
to compare and contrast them. Somewhat to my surprise I can't find any.
Indeed I can find few actual definitions. Unfortunately I'm all half a
world away from my books and references, so very dependent on the 'net.
So does anyone have a neat list. I want them to be as diverse (and
hopefully contradictory) as possible. I'd also like the original source -
the original source is important to the exercise.
Many thanks
BOB
