Russel Ackoff: System

“A system is a whole that consists of parts, each of which can affect its properties. Each part of the system, when it affects the system, is dependent on the other parts for its effect. No part of the system, or any combination of parts, has an independent effect on the system. Therefore a system is a whole that cannot be divided into independent parts. A system is not the sum of the
behavior of its parts, it’s the product of their interactions.”
—Professor Russel Ackoff.
