Chapter 14 and Diez Roux
What is a system
A system changes if you take away pr add pieces, if you cut a system in half you do not get two smaller systems: you get a system that will not function
in a system the parts are connected to each other and work together, while in a heap, the arrangement of the pieces is irrelevant
There is a large number of different definitions of systems, but in the case we define a system as an interacting group of items forming a unified whole
The behavior system depends on its overall structure, while in a heap, size rather than structure determines behavior
