6 Parts of a System

After brushing up on Aristotle's 'Parts of an Object' I decided to assemble and supply diction for my own, similar rendition, titled

6 Parts of a System

First lets define a couple things
Universal System: The all encompassing entity of the mechanical universe.
Isolated System: An arbitrarily designated subsystem within the universal system.

Now let us carry on...

1. Location
First and foremost it does well to designate what the coordinates and boundaries are within a system. Whether this is universal, galactic, global, local, or inside a given room or not is up to the person defining the system.


2. Time
There will always be a birth followed inevitably by a death when it comes to systems. Very literally, the system of one's person will eventually cease to exist. This is true with everything and therefor applying time boundaries as well as physical boundaries makes a lot of sense.


3. Relation
There is going to be some sort of reason why an isolated system is partitioned from the universal system. For example, when handling most matters on our planet we don't consider what other planets might think about it, since we can only work within our realm anyways. Another example may be that we want to look at how Facebook works and therefor would define an isolated system for substances related to Facebook. The relationship between the entire system would be that they all have something to do about Facebook.

4. Substance
There are going to be items within a given system. For example, our global isolated system includes countries, oceans, mountains, people, paperclips, and buttons. A chemist could sum this stuff up much easier in terms of which chemicals are naturally found on Earth, however, we have linguistics to help us with this. In linguistics we take arbitrarily defined sets of atoms (like those within a button) and classify them. So lets say that within the isolated system that is the room that you're sitting within there are the substances {You, Desk, Computer, Chair} etc. These substances also have certain properties or...

5. Attributes
This one is easy. Colours, weight, height, sound, smell, taste, etc. Basically all the properties of a substance that you can assimilate with your senses. Next!

6. Activity
Last but certainly not least there is activity. Look around you and you'll notice that some things are animate and some things are inanimate. There's also activity that you can perceive quite so adeptly with your senses including gravity, drafts, and radioactive decay, for example. Also, there are two types of activity. Intraactivity and Interactivity. I made these words up. Intraactivity would be all activity that is happening within an isolated system, such as your heart beating within the system of your body, whereas interactivity is activity that is happening to an isolated system or from an isolated system. For example, if you say you're room is an isolated system and a car drives into it then you just suffered some serious interactivity.
