GENERAL THEORY OF SYSTEMS (GTS)
- What is it?
- Is the study of systems in general for the purpose of applying them to
all existing systems
- Is the study of systems in general for the purpose of applying them to
all existing systems
- What is a system?
- Set of two or more interrelated elements working together
to achieve a common goal
- Set of two or more interrelated elements working together
to achieve a common goal
- How do I come from?
- Arose due to the need to address scientific understanding of concrete reality
systems are generally complex and unique, resulting of a particular history,
instead of abstract systems like which studies Physical

- Main representatives
- Ludwig Von
Bertalanffy (1901-1972)
- Raises the GTS as all the elements in a system are in equilibrium.

- Norbert Wiener (1894-1964)
- through cyber seek mechanisms to automate and predict future events

- William Ross Ashby
- He main objective is to explain the change and conduct indicating "purpose", "memory",
"anticipation", in purely deterministic and mechanistic terms.

- Definition of SistemaLa General Systems Theory
distinguishes various levels of complexity
- System: coherent whole, for example a family
- Suprasystem: medium surrounding the system; friends, neighbors, extended family ...
- Subsystems: system components; individuals.
- System: coherent whole, for example a family
- Principles of General Systems Theory
- Totality: The system transcends the individual characteristics of its members
- Entropy: The systems tend to maintain their identity
- Synergy: Any change in any part affects all others and sometimes the system
- Purpose: systems share common goals
- Equifinality: Changes to the system are independent of the initial conditions
- Equipotentiality: Allows the remaining parts assume the functions of extinct parts
- Feedback: The systems maintain a constant exchange of information
- Homeostasis: Every living system can be defined by their tendency to remain stable
- Morphogenesis: Every system is also defined by its tendency to change
- Totality: The system transcends the individual characteristics of its members
- Types of Systems
- Open systems: maintain open borders with the world (other
systems) with power sharing and information exchange.
- Closed systems There is very little exchange of energy and
information with the environment they live broader.
- Open systems: maintain open borders with the world (other
systems) with power sharing and information exchange.
