  2. P system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_system

    A P system is a computational model in the field of computer science that performs calculations using a biologically inspired process. They are based upon the structure of biological cells , abstracting from the way in which chemicals interact and cross cell membranes .

  3. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    While a system of 3 bodies interacting gravitationally is chaotic, a system of 3 bodies interacting elastically is not. [clarification needed] There is no general closed-form solution to the three-body problem. [1] In other words, it does not have a general solution that can be expressed in terms of a finite number of standard mathematical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_computing

    The P systems may trade space and time complexities and less often use models to explain natural processes in living cells. The studies devise models that may at least theoretically be implemented on hardware. To date, the P systems are nearly all theoretical models that have never been reduced to practice, although a practical system is given ...

    The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences.

    reflexivity or interaction between a system and what is known about it. Holistic Symmetry in Modern Science, webtext by Gary Witherspoon, 3 April 2007. Witherspoon states, that "the rise of abstract art and the development of various systems theories have an important parallel.

  7. Systems science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_science

    Systems science, also referred to as systems research [1] or simply systems, [2] is a transdisciplinary [3] field that is concerned with understanding simple and complex systems in nature and society, which leads to the advancements of formal, natural, social, and applied attributions throughout engineering, technology and science, itself.

  8. System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System

    A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. [1] A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning.

  9. Open system (systems theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_system_(systems_theory)

    In the social sciences an open system is a process that exchanges material, energy, people, capital and information with its environment. French/Greek philosopher Kostas Axelos argued that seeing the "world system" as inherently open (though unified) would solve many of the problems in the social sciences, including that of praxis (the relation of knowledge to practice), so that various social ...
