Proposed to think of
- Systems Thinking as an ability to think as a part of Collective Intelligence, therefore
- to understand cognitive processes at Systems Thinking as a subject of Cognitive Sciences due to the systemic nature of thinking and cognition processes
- Systems Science as a field of science studying Systems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_thinking
For some, systems thinking is the cognitive process of studying and understanding systems of every kind. For others, the focus is on social organizations in particular.[citation needed]
A system may be defined in general as a set of interrelated or interacting elements. This definition accommodates both passive structures (e.g. a necklace, or the Dewey Decimal System) and active structures. However, most system theorists focus on activity systems in which structures/components interact in behaviors/processes.[citation needed]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_science
Systems science - systemology (greco. σύστημα - systema, λόγος - logos) or systems theory is an interdisciplinary field that studies the nature of systems — from simple to complex — in nature, society, cognition, and science itself. The field aims to develop interdisciplinary foundations that are applicable in a variety of areas, such as psychology, biology, medicine, communication, business management, engineering, and social sciences.[1]

4.3.2 Integrating Systems Science, Systems Thinking, and Systems Engineering: understanding the differences and exploiting the synergies
Authors
Abstract
There is a need to properly define the “intellectual foundations of systems engineering”; and we need to look beyond systems engineering to do this. This paper presents a new framework for understanding and integrating the distinct and complementary contributions of systems science, systems thinking, and systems engineering to create an “integrated systems approach”. The key step is to properly separate out and understand the relationship between the triad of: systems science as an objective “science of systems”; systems thinking as concerned with “understanding systems in a human context”; and systems engineering as “creating, adjusting and configuring systems for a purpose”. None of these is a subset of another; all have to be considered as distinct though interdependent subjects. A key conclusion of the paper is that the “correct” choice of system boundary for a particular purpose depends on the property of interest. The insights necessary to inform this choice belong in the domain of “systems thinking”, which thus provides a key input to “systems engineering”. In many systems businesses, the role of “systems architect” or “systems engineer” integrates the skills of systems science, systems thinking and systems engineering - which are therefore all essential competencies for the role.
