System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek σύστημα systēma) is a set of interacting or interdependent entities forming an integrated whole.

The concept of an 'integrated whole' can also be stated in terms of a system embodying a set of relationships which are differentiated from relationships of the set to other elements, and from relationships between an element of the set and elements not a part of the relational regime.

The scientific research field which is engaged in the study of the general properties of systems include systems theory, cybernetics, dynamical systems and complex systems. They investigate the abstract properties of the matter and organization, searching concepts and principles which are independent of the specific domain, substance, type, or temporal scales of existence.

Most systems share common characteristics, including:

  • Systems have structure, defined by parts and their composition;
  • Systems have behavior, which involves inputs, processing and outputs of material, energy or information;
  • Systems have interconnectivity: the various parts of a system have functional as well as structural relationships between each other.
  • System(s) have by itself function(s) or group of functions

The term system may also refer to a set of rules that governs behavior or structure.

What is the line between social systems and political systems?
Q. This question came to mind while reading this statement in another Q&A: "Socialism is an economic system. Liberty has to do with the system of government, the political system, not the economic system." How do political and economic systems interact? Can you really separate them?

A. In my opinion, they are one in the same. Claiming that liberty only applies to political systems seems to be an intellectually lazy attempt to support "liberty" when it applies to lifestyle choices (gay marriage, abortion) and privacy (anti-Patriot Act etc), yet deny liberty when it applies to taxation, trade, business regulation, etc. By attempting to separate the two, populists can restrict our basic freedom of protection of private property while still claiming to believe in and support liberty. Milton Friedman addressed this topic in 'Capitalism and Freedom', and F.A. Hayek had interesting comments relevant to this topic in 'The Road to Serfdom' - both are must reads.

How can I make two information systems interact/integrate with each other, to avoid data entry twice? Help?
Q. I have two systems in my office, one is a performance management system and the other one is a database with an interface. Now I would like to steamline the process and avoid entering the same data twice, such that when data is added into one system, it also updates the data for the same entity in another system. How is this done, or where can I read more about it...I will highly appreciate your suggestion.

A. You would use a server, if I'm understanding you right... You can setup a server on one machine or get another machine to use as the server. Then you just have both machines connect to the server. I hope this is what you were looking for.

What kind of security systems do psyciatric wards/insane asylums have?
Q. I am wondering what kind of security systems are used in psychiatric wards, specifically for people deemed possibly dangerous. What if they are young kids/teens? Are they subjected to tight security along with the adults? What are the living conditions?

A. My brother was in a state hospital from age 18 untill his death when he was 35. Only dangerous peoples are locked up. It's not a prison so he was allowed to walk around the grounds. He could only leave the grounds with permission, and that was when we picked him up for the weekend. Unless they comitted an act of violence, they could generally walk on the grounds. There was no lock in gate around the area. However if he left the grounds, he went to lock up. I believe they had cameras, but I never seen them.
