Systems theory

β€˜Theory’ might sound drily intellectual, but actually the systems perspective is a holistic way of reflecting on the world, which involves the whole of our being: in recent research, the mind is not separate from the body, nor from feelings.

– [[How systems theory can help us reflect on the world]]

Systems are not fated to acquire a runaway β€˜bad’ dynamic, it is possible for them to function sustainably. To understand this, systems theory suggests two complementary conceptual approaches: [[thermodynamics]] and [[information]]. Information applies to internal structure, the extent to which an ensemble β€˜makes sense’ and functions coherently. Thermodynamics addresses the energy flows.
