[[Doughnut Economics]] has a nice, simple definition of what a [[system]] is.
- "So what is a system? Simply a set of things that are interconnected in ways that produce distinct patterns of behaviour – be they cells in an organism, protestors in a crowd, birds in a flock, members of a family, or banks in a financial network. And it is the relationships between the individual parts – shaped by their [[stocks and flows]], [[feedbacks]], and [[delay]] – that give rise to their emergent behaviour"

[[Wasteland]] has a nice description of [[Oil]]:
- "Most oil deposits are thought to have been laid down between 10 and 180 million years ago, when dead zooplankton and algae sank to the seafloor and were buried in layers of sediment, before being slowly transformed into hydrocarbons by heat and pressure and time"
