论系统思维(六):重在把握系统的整体涌现性

On Systematic Thoughts(6): To Focus the Attention on the Emergent Properties of the Whole

系统思维反对笼统地谈论整体,认定具有涌现性的事物才是系统。涌现并不神秘,它来自系统组分之间、系统与环境之间的相互作用,是对事物进行组织的产物。涌现带来的不是物质能量的增减,而是信息的创生与消除。系统思维就是按照涌现论识物想事的思维方式。

The system thinking doesn＇t approve talking about the wholeness generally, holds that the whole with emergent properties is a system only. The emergence is not mystical, because it comes from the interaction among component parts of the system, and the interaction between system and its environment. The emergence is the outcomes of organizing process, it doesn＇t change the total value of matter and energy in the universe, but can leads to the evolving of new information and the removing of available information. The system thinking is a pattern of thinking following the emergence theory.
