Every system has one or more functions in one or more larger systems of which it is a part. For example, an automobile is part of a transportation system and its function is to carry people from one place to another. When Newton asserted that the universe, which contains everything, was a mechanical system,he as faced with an apparent paradox: How could everything be a part of something larger? This was not a problem for the genius of Newton. For him the universe was a machine that had been created by God to do His work. |
