Functional individuals to elements of systems.

It is all chaos by default. When left uncontrolled, chaos gets bigger in size and effect. We as humans are always trying to improve the environment according to our core principles of structure. Collecting and grouping things is one of the first abilities we apply to give meaning to everything we have. The things we live by can be defined by many aspects, such as attributes, form, and function. That’s quite understandable as we think of everything as something that serves us in a way that we do and accomplish something. This trend is the fundamental approach to design and other areas of creative production where new tools are created to make things done by the people. As it is reached then we can polish them for creating experiences that are much more than just usable. So, functions help us to bring meaning and organize our lives.

Everything is related. That’s why pushing the discovered limits of the meaning can’t be done by just one or another. As everything has a function to perform, all of these individual outcomes build the mass amount of individual results. Uniqueness and individualism have very thick lines of ends. We share so much more than we have as individuals. That means all the functions out there most probably have similar or close goals of outcomes. This, in its turn, makes things much more organizable and, structured for us. We can group the functions by their common sharings of impacts.

Functions are bonded through relations. Everything that can describe a group of functional units can be taken as a relation. These bunches of related functional units sharing common goals are now called systems. A system is an open or closed unified complex of individuals that serve the same outcome. Each functional unit can be named as an element. So, elements have two core functions to count. First, they perform actions to achieve their own goals. Second, they do those actions to get the overall goals of the system. Systems enhance our abilities to think about complex problems and solve them with less input.

While elements build the system the thing that makes all these happens is connections. In terms of systems, the connection is the defined and declared relation of the elements for different purposes. One of the most know connections is interaction. Interaction is the ability of an element to connect with others while performing its functions to achieve system-wide goals. Each interaction can be seen as a bridge between related elements that connect them in a way that they can use each other’s abilities. They can also be thought of as a solution to the system’s metaphor for the problem of lack of collaborative connection of the individual elements. The core role of the interaction inside the system is building the complex navigational pattern between n-n elements during the easy to complex tasks by considering their requirements. This being said, when building and connecting the system it’s crucial to understand the their main goals, individual/overall functions and required interactions.
