System Properties Overview
This section provides an overview of the system properties associated with this system of interest. These system properties are created as a result of the interaction of the parts or they are an aggregation of the properties of the parts. In a sense all systemic properties are emergent. Some properties are desired or expected and other properties that are undesired or unexpected (such as pollution).
The following diagram highlights the type of System Properties covered in this section:
Systemic Measurable Variables
The systemic properties created or used through the interaction of the system elements. This includes both desired and undesired.
Systemic Capabilities or Functions
The capabilities or functions the system provides are also systemic properties and are created through the interaction of the system elements. These capabilities or functions are also emergent.
System States
The various defined states that the system-of-interest can be in.
- Architectural states
- Transformational States
- Operational States
Systemic Quality Properties
These properties relate to qualitative properties of the system. These are also systemic properties
System Quantity Properties
These properties relate to aggregate totals for properties of the system (e.g. weight).
