Systems Topics (11)
Feedback Systems
0

In audio engineering, feedback is often unwanted, but it's the fundamental principle behind electric guitars' characteristic sustain and distortion. elaborate

Autopoiesis Systems
1

Autopoiesis, the property of a system to maintain itself, isn't limited to living organisms; some computer models have also demonstrated autopoietic characteristics. elaborate

Synergy Systems
2

Synergy, in a business context, doesn't always mean a perfectly harmonious collaboration. Sometimes, the "synergy" is just the sum of individual efforts, not a truly multiplicative effect. elaborate

Systems Systems
3

Some distributed systems use a technique called "gossip protocols" where nodes randomly exchange information with each other, eventually ensuring that all nodes have a consistent view of the system state, even without a central authority. elaborate

Dynamics Systems
4

Microsoft Dynamics 365's roots trace back to the early 1990s with the release of Great Plains Software's accounting software, which eventually became a core component of the Dynamics ERP suite. elaborate

Structures Systems
5

In computer science, structures (or structs) can be nested—meaning a structure can contain another structure as a member, creating complex data organizations. elaborate

Complexity Systems
6

The complexity of a problem can sometimes be reduced by cleverly changing its representation. A seemingly intractable problem might become easily solvable with a different perspective. elaborate

Patterns Systems
7

The patterns on a snowflake are never exactly duplicated, even on the same snowflake. elaborate

Emergence Systems
8

Emergence is a phenomenon where complex systems spontaneously develop properties not present in their individual components. For example, the wetness of water isn't a property of a single water molecule, but emerges from the collective behavior of many. elaborate

Processes Systems
9

A process can have multiple threads, allowing it to perform multiple tasks seemingly simultaneously within the same program. elaborate

Cybernetics Systems
10

The term "cybernetics" was coined by Norbert Wiener, and is derived from the Greek word "kybernetes," meaning "steersman" or "governor." elaborate
