# Systems Theory | | **Systems Theory** is the transdisciplinary study of systems, i.e. cohesive groups of interrelated, interdependent components that can be natural or artificial. Every system has causal boundaries, is influenced by its context, defined by its structure, function and role, and expressed through its relations with other systems. A system is "more than the sum of its parts" by expressing synergy or emergent behavior. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Systems theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory) | ## [[Systems Architecture]] ## [[Systems design]] ## [[Systems Thinking]] ## [[Tech]] ## [[Control Theory]] ## [[Chaos Theory]] ## [[Cybernetics]] ## [[Equifinality]] ## [[Isomorphism (sociology)]] ## [[System of Systems Engineering]] ## Related [[Process Architecture]] - [[Design]] - [[Digital Design]] - [[Software Architecture]] ## Issues - [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzsche]] on systems - anti systems thinking
