Transcendental Systems
Name: Transcendental System
Based on: System (Abstract)
Each system being explored will have a unique purpose. This type of system begins to create a system description for this type of named system:
- To understand things beyond our current knowledge
- (Ref: Boulding, systems beyond knowledge).
Systemic Measurable Variables
The emergent properties created or used through the interaction of the elements. This includes both desired and undesired.
Systemic Capabilities or Functions
Each system will have their own unique types of capabilities or functions. As these emerge, they will be identified in this section. Some examples are:
- Intuition
- Spirituality
- Dark Matter
- Beyond the universe
System States
The various defined states that the system-of-interest can be in.
- Architectural states
- Transformational States
- Operational States
At a minimum, there will be a Human Activity System established to explore this named area. This HAS will establish a set of stakeholders and a community of practice to explore this area. This team will:
- Explore and establish elements of a system description.
- Agree on boundary, shared terminology and definitions for this system
- Open to new ideas and innovation
The environment consists of the existing identified systems in the overall classification. Any of these existing systems can be used to help identify or provide base information.
- Full classification system to date to inform the new systems
- Use of cross discipline explorations into related areas.
Each system will have their own pattern of organization
- Conceptual Framework of Ideas
- System elements
- System properties (phenomenon we don't understand but experience)
Configuration / Scenario:
Describes any configuration / scenario attributes for a specific system-of-interest. This may not be appropriate for all system descriptions (e.g. patterns or abstract systems).
Cyclical (Repeating / Regular) Processes
Routine operational processes to maintain the system
Provides support to deliver the capabilities or functions of the system.
Development Life Cycle Processes
Each system will have their own development life cycles. These will be identified in this area.
- New idea formulation
- Relationships to other classifications and their type of life cycle.
- Possible emergence of new life cycle concepts
The following references support this type of system-of-interest.
