System Characteristics and Properties

For a system to be considered as such, it must have several interrelated factors and properties characteristic of the system.

Permeability

It is the flexibility of the system, which is neither fully open nor fully closed, allowing it to exchange energy with its environment or context.

Homeostasis (State Similar)

This refers to maintaining a regular operating system while undergoing permanent change processes. It involves mechanisms that allow self-balancing, correcting deviations or failures to ensure survival and growth. If the input level is equal to or greater than the output level, the system will maintain or grow.

Entropy

This represents the process of degeneration or obsolescence experienced by a system....
