| Systems, philosophy of science: systems are compilations of rules for the formation of statements on a previously defined subject domain. Apart from the - usually recursive - rules for the combination of expressions or signs, the specification of the vocabulary or sign set of the system is also required. See also axioms, axiom systems, theories, strength of theories, expressiveness, rules, order, recursion, models, structure, system theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Gerhard Vollmer on Systems - Dictionary of Arguments
II 92 System/Projection/Vollmer: Thesis: so the projective model explains the apparent incompatibility of different properties such as mind and physique as different aspects of the same thing. This is not a throwback to the postulation of an unknown substance. >Aspects, >Substance, >Spirit, >Physis. Solution: System concept of the system theory/Vollmer: E.g. diamond/graphite: made of the same carbon atoms, but made of different structures. - E.g. diamond/silicon: same structure, different components. (Here silicon) - No component is logically pre-structured. - This shows how little is gained by the knowledge of the components. Cf. >Analysis, >Systems theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
