I’ve developed and published a thesis proposing a general systems framework — looking for critical feedback
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time developing a framework for understanding how different components, relationships, feedback mechanisms and structures interact within complex systems.
I’ve now formalised the work as a thesis and published it openly on Zenodo, with a permanent DOI.
I’m posting it here because I’d particularly like feedback from people with experience in systems science, systems thinking and complexity theory.
I’m not presenting the framework as proven. I’m interested in whether the underlying proposition is coherent, whether similar work already exists that I may have missed, where it overlaps with established systems theory, and—most importantly—where the framework could be wrong or require further testing.
Full thesis:
A PROPOSED FOUR-PRINCIPLE GENERATIVE ARCHITECTURE OF SYSTEMS - THESIS.
Zenodo.
Brutal criticism is very welcome.
