A system is a set of two or more elements that satisfies the following three conditions. The behavior of each element has an effect on the behavior of the whole. The behavior of the elements and their effects on the whole are interdependent. the way each element behaves and the way it affects the whole depends on how at least one other element behaves. However subgroups of the elements are formed, each has an effect on the behavior of the whole and none has an independent effect on it. (en) |
