Systems Prospects

There is much about the world that we don't understand.

Perhaps, most astonishingly, there is much about the man-made world that we don't understand.

The Economy for example.


Yet, for survival we need to make changes to things we don't understand.


This blog continues the work on Open Systems reported under openpdq.com ...

    ... and broadens that subject somewhat.


Lots of us work in Systems.

We design Systems that are intended to function correctly and improve matters.

We describe the world in terms of Systems...

... and carve out the bit of it that we intend to change - The System.



This blog will explore ways in which we understand Systems.

It will help us make sense of the bits we have to change.

It will help us avoid making the mistakes that f*** things up.
