system thinking

• overviewing

• Pragmatism

• Narrower related point of views

  • emergence - examining only high level parts
    • doesn’t focus on other parts of system
    • Kind of like holism & Holistic thiking
  • reductionism - examining only lower level parts

• Discovery

  • Holism
  • tools
  • simple rules can create complex outputs

how?

• Every unit interact & depend w its siblings & other unit types
  • changes with time
  • Lower & Higher level parts
    • have their own purpose that might not derive from the other
  • Casuality - cause-effect behaviours
    • Usually non-linear & operating at different levels
    • Feedback loops - outputs affects other inputs
      • Changes in one part of the system affect other parts, creating cyclical relationships.
    • history of a system influences its current & future state
    • Local changes can cascade to affect the entire system.
    • Effects can influence their causes
    • Thresholds can be trigghered by slight changes
  • e.g.
    • mini wholes interact with components, other mini wholes, the whole, and meta wholes
• Units
  • components
  • mini wholes / emergence
  • wholes
  • can we create meta-wholes?
• Practical
  • vi

  • What? trace inputs that make best outputs (leverage) - e.g.
  • good food = ingrediets = your own farm = best soil
  • money = help people = do stuff differently = learn different things = get time to learn = kill part of yourself = reinvent yourself
