Systems Science as a Subset of Other Sciences
Systems science is best seen as a science that consists of nested sub-sciences. It is presented most compactly using the notation of set theory.
Let A represent a science of description. Let B represent a science of design. Let C represent a science of complexity. Let D represent a science of action (praxiology). Let E represent systems science. Then
A ? B ? C ? D ? E
illustrates the concept that we can learn something of systems science by first learning a science of description. Then we can learn a science of design which includes a science of description. Next we can learn a science of complexity which includes a science of description and a science of design, and so on.
Notes:
Using set notation... an interesting way to describe the field.
