Introduction
A system (from Latin systēma, and this from Greek σύστημα sýstēma 'gathering, set, aggregate') is "a complex object whose parts or components are related to at least some of the other components";[1] whether conceptual or material.[1] All systems have composition, structure and environment, but only material systems have mechanisms (or processes), and only some material systems have figure "Form (figure)").
According to systemism, all objects are systems or components of another system.[2] For example, an atomic nucleus is a physical material system composed of protons and neutrons related by strong nuclear interaction; A molecule is a chemical material system composed of atoms related by chemical bonds; A cell is a biological material system composed of organelles related by non-covalent chemical bonds and metabolic pathways; A cerebral cortex is a biological material system composed of neurons related by action potentials and neurotransmitters; An army is a social and partially artificial material system composed of people and artifacts related by command, supply, communication and war; The ring "Ring (mathematics)") of integers is a conceptual algebraic system composed of positive, negative and zero numbers related by addition and multiplication; and a scientific theory is a logical conceptual system composed of hypotheses "Hypothesis (logical)"), definitions and theorems related by coreference and deduction.
A system is a set of interrelated elements to achieve the same objective. The system components are:
History
According to Marshall McLuhan,
In the 19th century, the French physicist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, who studied thermodynamics, pioneered the development of the concept of "system" in the natural sciences. In 1824 he studied the system he called the "working substance" (typically a body of water vapor) in the steam engine, with regard to the system's ability to do work when heat is applied. The working substance could be brought into contact with a boiler, a cold reservoir (a stream of cold water), or a piston (on which the working body could work by pushing). In 1850, the German physicist Rudolf Clausius generalized this image to include the concept of environment and began using the term "working body" when referring to the system.
The biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy became one of the pioneers of general systems theory. In 1945 he introduced "models, principles and laws that apply to generalized systems or their subclasses, regardless of their particular type, the nature of their component elements and the relationship or 'forces' between them."[5].
