  1. Systems Theory

  2. KEY CONCEPTS • Systems • Holistic • Interdependence and Mutual Influence • Hierarchy (suprasystems, systems, and subsystems) • Feedback and Control Loops • Equilibrium and Homeostasis • Negative Feedback (constancy loops) • Positive Feedback (variety loops) • Morphogenetic and morphostatic effects • Boundaries • Open v. Closed Systems • Boundary Permeability • Inputs and Outputs

  3. SYSTEM Jack again compares goal and outcome . . . more error! Jack compares goal and outcome . . . goal is met Jack compares goal and outcome . . . error comparator Jan throws tantrum Jan falls asleep Jan loses it! i G-i=e e Jan isn’t in bed and now Is screaming like a banshee Jan isn’t in bed! Jan is in bed G= “stop tantrum” i= “Jan asleep” e= “Jan not crying AND in bed” G= “bed at 7pm” i= “Jan’s tantrum” e= “Jan not in bed” Positive Loop Closes! Jack has to do something to get to the goal Jack still has to do something to end the tantrum R R Jan wants door to stay open Jan is comforted by the singing Jan wants to stay up i Jack decides to hold Jan and sing Jack decides to close door environment Jack holds Jan and begins singing Jack puts Jan in bed Jack threatens to close the door i i Jan likes to be held and sung to by daddy Jan is scared when the door is closed Jan needs to be in bed at 7pm random noise

KEY CONCEPTS • Systems • Holistic • Interdependence and Mutual Influence • Hierarchy (suprasystems, systems, and subsystems) • Equifinality • Feedback and Control Loops • Equilibrium and Homeostasis • Negative Feedback (constancy loops) • Positive Feedback (variety loops) • Morphogenetic and morphostatic effects • Boundaries • Boundary Permeability • Inputs and Outputs
