Theory of Systems


I do not understand the reality since a positive paradigm. This paradigm has one premise to support all its knowledge: there is an only reality that can be observed. The mankind development has shown that it is impossible build a single reality.  This necessarily depends on the observer. But how we live in a community the reality depends on all participants in this community. Deep down I just repeat the conclusions reached by Maturana & Varela, Chilean authors that applied the theory of systems at the epistemological problem. Being consistent, the theory of systems should be applied to the form we know the reality. So that a worldview base on this paradigm can not be biased in particular subjects. The theory of systems started with Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in an effort for an interdisciplinary research trying to find common properties to entities called systems. These systems observe the reality at different levels where interconnect various areas of knowledge. 


Fractal is describing the motion of a pendulum
The actual big problem is that it does not exist pure systems. This are called closed systems. The classical physics describes mathematically the events from closed systems in that have not stranger elements. But the dominant view understands that all systems in reality are open. That is to say, in there are stranger elements. The elements that interfere in open systems further complicate things, because they become less predictable. Here is where to play the theories of chaos. Indeed scientists have discovered something, where there is more chaos there is an implicit order. The fractal theory works in these cases like metaphorical rides to describe this order, like the butterfly effect. I appreciate the theory of systems because it is valuable like epistemological paradigm and it explain all the reality as one whole objective.

From what I know about systems theory, I can say it is a proposal that integrates science has transcended or influenced the social sciences, which I think is very positive. I personally believe that when investigating a problem, you should always be understood in context and therefore the solutions must be comprehensive.:-)

Barb,
try to make your posts a bit more personal ok? you need to express a bit more your point of view
