System properties Overview
The properties identified in this section are created through the interaction of the parts.
Systemic Measurable Variables
The key variables are:
Systemic Capabilities or Functions
These capabilities are properties of the whole Ecosystem not any of the individual parts.
Ecosystem Services
System States
- Alive
- Normal seasonal changes
- Normal ecosystem service provision.
- Distressed
- Fires, floods, storms
- Meteor
- Volcano eruptions
- Pollution
Systemic Quality Properties
System Quantity Properties
- Weight
- Height
- Volume
- Boundary of the area of the ecosystem
-
Ecological Boundary: a boundary around the ecosystem of interest or a boundary around a subset of the ecosystem.
NOTE:.The Ecological Boundary can be wide or narrow depending upon the boundary. In all cases, the structural model remains the same. The behaviour varies depending on the configuration (type) of ecosystem within the boundary. Here are some examples:
-
The Planet (Whole Earth) is the Boundary. The whole planet is included.
-
Biome is the boundary. The characteristics of the Biome determine the behaviours.
-
Nation is the boundary: The characteristics of the Nation may vary from regions to towns - however, the overall nation can be understood
-
City or neighbourhood is the boundary: Specific issues or problems can be identified locally and plans taken to address the issues.
-
Other ecosystem types with a boundary or ecosystem boundaries: These provide a narrow view in a wider context.

This section identifies the system properties. Suggested headings have been included. These can be tailored.
System properties Overview
The properties identified in this section are created through the interaction of the parts. The following model provides an overview of the system properties and their origin
Systemic Measurable Variables
The key variables are:
- Body Temperature
- Heart Rate (Pulse)
- Blood Pressure
- Blood Electrolyte Level (Anion Gap)
- Eyesight (e.g. 20/20)
- Hearing Range
- Performance related to abilities (speed, accuracy, etc)
- Performance: achieving or exceeding personal objectives.
- Competence levels: skills, knowledge, experience, behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs.
Systemic Capabilities or Functions
These capabilities are properties of the whole person not any of the individual parts.
Work abilities:
- Skills, Knowledge, Experience, Attitudes, Behaviors
- Specific to one or more domains of knowledge
- Specific to one or more social systems
- Setting Goals and taking actions to achieve them (taking personal responsibility)
- NOTE: these are generally the abilities that are part of an employment contract.
Mental abilities
- perceptual abilities (listening, visualizing, etc)
- cognitive abilities
- imagination abilities (creating and reflecting on mental images)
- judgment abilities (choice and decision making)
- appreciative abilities
- creative abilities (creating new or adapting existing elements based upon current abilities)
- learning abilities (ability to unlearn and learn. The skills for personal learning and changing are important: See Learning Styles and cognitive abilities.)
- communication abilities (using language to share personal mental images and coordinate actions in other people)
- Using and improving processes and tools to carry out work.
- Problem Solving and continuous improvement
- Setting goals and planning.
- Taking actions to achieve the goals.
- Maintaining health and dynamic balance
Physical abilities
- walking, running, etc
- lifting, throwing, etc
- sports abilities, etc
- Use of technology, etc
System States
A person may be in a number of different states:
Transformational:
Age based development approach (Development Stages)
- Infancy
- childhood
- adolescence
- young adulthood
- adulthood
- old age (elderhood)
Operational
Emotional States (based upon core consciousness)
- Normal, Stressed, Illness, Anxious, Fabulous
Reflective States (based upon reflective consciousness)
- Learning, Planning, Reflecting,
Systemic Quality Properties
System Quantity Properties
- Weight
- Height
- Volume
- Type: Male, Female, Non-binary

System Properties for a Person as a System
From the definition of a system, "A system is a set of interacting or interdependent component parts forming a complex or intricate whole." Just a set of independent parts doesn't create a system. Interaction and interdependence is required.
Also derived from the Emergence concept: "In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts," meaning the whole has properties its parts do not have. These properties come about because of interactions among the parts. In mathematical shorthand, W = P + I." (Wikipedia)
In summary, the complexity of the collective behavior must be smaller than the complexity of the controlling individual. A group of individuals whose collective behavior is controlled by a single individual cannot behave in a more complex way than the individual who is exercising the control. Hierarchical control structures are symptomatic of collective behavior that is no more complex than one individual. Comparing an individual human being with the hierarchy as an entirety, the hierarchy amplifies the scale of the behavior of an individual, but does not increase its complexity.
According to the Incompleteness Theorem, a system cannot be non-contradictory described by the rules and laws the system is based on. The system has to be extended with extra rules to be adequately described: "The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency."
Data or intelligence without context isn’t useful. Different actions in different localities and context will have different associations with different objects and subjects. Therefore, systems are not something objective and existing independently from their creators.
