A
system is a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole,
in particular; or a
set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an
interconnecting network (source:
Google search, “system”).
The World System is the sum/total of the connections or relationships
of each of its parts. Accordingly, Planet Earth, within and as the
atmosphere, is the manifested representation1
of the World System. From within and as the World-System, all other
(worldly) systems flow.
Use your Imagination to visualize how systems
function – from the small to big and big to small. Picture
“everything” within/as the Earth's atmosphere, as a glass-sphere.
Now, within/as that sphere, choose the tiniest single-particle that
you can imagine. From that particle as a starting point, draw
individual light-blue relationship lines to each of the particles
that may influence or be influenced by that single starting-point
particle. If you are familiar with Physics, what you probably just
did was to draw individual lines from that single-particle to every
other single-particle within/as the sphere. Now, one particle at a
time, do the exact same thing with all of the other single-particles
in/as the sphere, until you have addressed each single-particle as a
unique starting-point within/as the sphere. What you are now holding
within and as your imagination is a light-blue representation of the
basis of the World System, enclosed within/as its very own
atmosphere. Notice that although, the
address/starting-point/perception of each particle is unique, the
connections of each of the particles to each other – creating the
whole – are equal. Now, reverse the view. From the the entirety of
the sphere – as the sum/total of all the singular particles in
relation to each other, follow the relationship line of each of the
particles, back to that first single-particle.
Questions:
- What in essence, determines/defines the nature of a system, as a whole?
- What in essence, determines/defines the nature of a single-particle or singularity?
1“manifested
representation” refers to the behavior and works
