Thoughts on the General Systems Theory

Abstract

The most common definition of systems is formulated as “a combination of elements”, or even as “any object is a system”. Many authors have presented the formal definitions of an aggregation of two multitudes: elements and relationships.but a single, universally accepted Systems definition still does not exist.In this article, Why this happens, what matters in definitions do not have the answers yet, how “General Systems Theory” metascience and “Systems Engineering” particularistic science relate, the paradoxes of general systems theory,and much more will be discussed.
