Down: 1) Fixed balance in a partially open system, characterized by very limited interchange with the environment and by maintenance of the system present structure.2) The most stable relationships between systems and components (i.e., with the slowest rate of change). “Structure” describes which components or systems are related to each other during a given time period, but does not necessary give details of the amount of energy exchange, or in what direction, or the functions being performed for each party to the relationship. It is thus a “snapshot,” frozen in time, not a “movie.” Processes of energy interchange in which change is slowest and of the longest duration and thus appear to the observer to be static or stationary.4) One form of social control intended to assure the availability of components’ energies to the system. The means to achieve this are primarily through assimilating the culture.6) Like other polarities, it is a ratio: in this instance, of change or maintenance of current structure. “at the edge of chaos”7) The creation, definition, or development of a new system (or all three of these; the term is, itself, still being defined). Some systems theorists raise the issue of who recognizes the emergence, and stress the phenomenological nature of this judgment; in other words, “Do you see what I see?”9) The use of energy by a system to assure that its components fulfill assigned functions. Such activities include socialization and enforcement of norms of behavior. The purpose of social control is to permit continued functioning of the system through reducing or preventing deviance (energy diverting behavior) among the components.11) fixed balance of relativity closed system, characterized by little interchange with the environment and avoidance of disturbance. Freud’s concept of psychological structure fits this definition.13) shuttle16) A form of organization that characterizes all viable systems. Hierarchy is a superordinate-subordinate relationship in systems in which any unit is dependent upon its suprasystem for performance of energy functions and must provide direction to its own subsystems. The hierarchy may be one of power, or simply of sequence (that is, one thing must precede another). This does not imply greater or lesser value to any partner in the hierarchical relationship. Across: 3) A total condition of the system in which it is in balance both internally and with its environment but is at the same time undergoing some degree of change (i.e. is not static). The word steady fails to connote the dynamic nature of systems, while the word state fails to connote a succession of conditions of the system. “Dynamic balance” or Von Bertalanffy’s “flowing balance” connote these characteristics better. Steady state is maintained by a high degree of negentropy (importation of energy) in living systems “on the edge of chaos.” Used fairly loosely and somewhat interchangeably with equilibrium and homeostasis, but distinct from them.5) limits of the interaction of the components of a system with each other or with the environment. It is usually defined by intensity or frequency of interaction between systems and components.6) assimilation and accommodation. These two terms indicate whether the system accepts or rejects the incoming information without any change on the part of the system (assimilation) or whether it modifies it structure in response to the incoming information (accommodation).8) denotes lack of energy exchange across boundaries.10) In a narrow sense, the transportation of information between or within systems; in a broader sense, the transportation of energy, also. In this broader sense, information is considered a special form of energy.11) teeterboard12) Action by the system to secure or conserve energy from the environment. Parsons use of this term includes such action as well as achievement of goals in the environment. System must adjust to their environment.13) It is thus a “snapshot,” frozen in time, not a “movie14) Hence education, indoctrination, and enculturation are forms of socialization. A bargain is struck: the system offers support or noninterference with the person’s goals as long as the person’s behavior is consistent with the systems goal.15) when systems exchange energy across their boundaries.17) A system or its significant environmental systems can be receptive or unreceptive to the movement of energy across their boundaries. Ex: openness – “alternative medicine” or licensing of midwives. Community organizers might wish for a social agency to be more open to inner city residents and less open to interchange solely with whites, suburban middle-class clientele.18) Ex: “gentle persuasion” that a religious organization can apply to its members to summon their efforts in supporting the systems goals, such as a building find, yearly budget, or attendance at a revival.19) The condition of a system that is moving from one steady state to another. Transition state may be more frequent then steady state. However, every steady state is in transition, so it may be a “judgment call” as to whether at certain times a system is in steady state or transition.20) this has less to do with being complicated, or having numerous parts, than with unpredictability and spontaneity. To the extent that feedback loops are not centrally controlled, interaction between parts, or between system and environment, may create new, unexpected patterns of behavior. Fractal dynamics are a literal illustration of this unpredictability21) motorcycle22) connotes both self-origination and on-going self-modification by the system; and • Self-development, or development of the self, which connotes that a major ongoing task of the system is the establishment of its identity, its steady state(s), its character, and the traits that are characteristic of the system which we observed to be relatively constant during its evolution. • Self – each person’s consciousness is unique, based upon ones experience and one’s interpretation of those experiences. Phenomenology maintains that a person develops a “self” only by interacting with others – “looking glass self” “generalized order23) Ex: professionals who say they “communicated” with clients usually mean that positive effect was conveyed. But the professional and the client also communicate when the communication conveys control.24) may be for a very limited and peripheral purpose (membership in a club) or may constitute a vital linkage (church/military). For example, a family’s association with a work organization. (page 32)25) denotes energy exchange across a system’s boundaries.26) I.e. family who comes home for Christmas? Religious orders boundaries or Amish for example. Boundaries can change like social beliefs changing over the years on ideas such as birth control, and roles of women.27) Ex: in a family a parent will have greater access to family income then children (b/c they have more access to making $) Power control ex: executive officer of organization has rank not only by title (status) but by virtue of controlling the allocation of responsibilities and resources.
