Meta-systems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meta-systems have several definitions. In general, they link the concepts "system" and "meta-".

According to this vague indication, suggested by A.M.Gadomski, we may assume that meta-systems or metasystems are systems composed of the common properties of a large class of systems but not related to its particular domain-dependent properties. According to V. Turchin, C. Joslyn, this "natural" definition is not sufficient for the Theory of Meta-system Transition, it is also not congruent with the definition of system of systems in Autopoietic Systems Theory, and it is differ than the definition proposed by K.D. Palmer (see External Links).

In the above context, a few local domain-dependent definitions of meta-system are used.

[edit] In Economics

Meta-systems are like what Bataille calls General Economies as opposed to the Restricted Economies of Systems. Meta-systems are the inverse of systems.

A book about the difference between General and Restricted economies is Complementarity by Arkady Plotnitsky. In this case "meta" is defined as what is beyond: the meta-system is what lies beyond the system.

[edit] In Mathematics, Biology and Psychology

In science many variables occurred within structures and systems that determined the results, discoveries, rates and value(s) of sets, systems, and developments within systems, structures, systems within structures and sets of structures. A mathematical modeling rule system for a domain D, is an example of a meta-system in mathematics and science, for similar and consistency of concrete or frequency found in models within a domain. These are all modes or models; where commonalities are more consistent with consecutive scores or values within a ranged order and are good indicators for gauging probabilities (mathematics,) traits (psychology) and properties (biology.) Scientists when examining and measuring the commonalities or meta-system's qualities and differential values and sums as abstractions and logical deductions and reasonings, from counting, calculations, measurements and with the examinations and studies of the structures, shapes contents and motions of physical objects.

[edit] In Cultural Studies and Sociology

Meta-systems refer to contexts, milieux, situations, ecosystems, environments and the biological process with the use of commonarities in behavioral traits and human developments found surrounding a social or scientific system which the system must interact with in order to remain viable. Meta-systems have a different structures and also are complementary to other structures of such systems. Without this complementarity in the values, bondings, or tact the systems could not remain productive, viable or operational.
