A system is a set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole.
Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.
Some systems share common characteristics, including:[citation needed]
- A system has structure, it contains parts (or components) that are directly or indirectly related to each other;
- A system has behavior, it exhibits processes that fulfill its function or purpose;
- A system has interconnectivity: the parts and processes are connected by structural and/or behavioral relationships;
- A system's structure and behavior may be decomposed via subsystems and sub-processes to elementary parts and process steps;
- A system has behavior that, in relativity to its surroundings, may be categorized as both fast and strong.
