Meta-Systems
This category contains examples of systems that operate at conceptual or meta-levels - systems that model themselves, or templates that demonstrate universal system principles.
Examples in this Category
Type: Software system modeling itself
Complexity: 19.7 (self-referential system coordination)
Domain: Technology/Software Development
Key Insight: Recursive system definition - a system for modeling systems
Type: Generic system demonstrating universal principles
Complexity: 18.4 (universal system template)
Domain: Theoretical/Foundational
Key Insight: Demonstrates Mobus 7-tuple framework across all domains
Meta-System Characteristics
Meta-systems exhibit unique properties:
Self-reference: Systems that can model or describe themselves
Universal principles: Templates showing patterns across all domains
Recursive definition: Systems composed of systems following same principles
Conceptual abstraction: Operating at higher levels of organization
These examples demonstrate how systems science provides frameworks that apply to systems studying systems - the recursive nature of systemness itself.
