Everything is a System
--- BEGIN TRANSMISSION ---
Everything is a system.
First, let's define what a system is. A system is a group of interconnected parts that form a whole, functioning together toward a specific purpose.
For examples of systems, you have macro systems like the global economy and climate, everyday systems like a car, a house, or a computer, and micro systems like a cellular system or a computer circuit.
If we were to define a system as an equation, it might look something like this:
System output = f(inputs, parts, interactions)
A system always has its parts, its whole, and the function.
Everything is a system. From the atom to the t-shirt you're wearing.
