商品描述
This book adopts the logic of Systems Thinking and Control Systems, presenting a simple but complete theory called the Theory of Combinatory Systems. This new theory describes, interprets, explains, and simulates collective phenomena and their observable effects. Such collective phenomena - many of which are "one way", non-repeatable or reproducible - can all be described and understood using the model, as simple as it is general, of combinatory systems; that is, systems formed by collectivities, or populations of non-connected and unorganized individuals of some species, which appear to be directed by an invisible hand that guides the analogous actions of similar individuals in order to produce an emerging collective phenomenon.
This edition includes enhanced theories such as an analysis of potential interactions between combinatory systems and their dynamics, highlighting the role of the environment in which such systems operate. It also includes new examples and enhanced figures that illustrate how combinatory systems are observed in social, biological and physical contexts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書採用了系統思維和控制系統的邏輯，提出了一個簡單但完整的理論，稱為組合系統理論（Theory of Combinatory Systems）。這個新理論描述、解釋、說明並模擬集體現象及其可觀察的效果。這些集體現象——其中許多是「單向的」，不可重複或再現的——都可以使用組合系統的模型來描述和理解，這個模型既簡單又通用；也就是說，這些系統是由某些物種的非連接和無組織的個體群體所組成，似乎受到一隻看不見的手的指引，該手引導類似個體的類似行為，以產生一種新興的集體現象。
本版包括增強的理論，例如對組合系統及其動態之間潛在互動的分析，強調這些系統運作的環境角色。它還包括新的例子和增強的圖示，說明如何在社會、生物和物理背景中觀察到組合系統。
