It involves understanding systems by examining the interconnections and interactions among their components. Here's a comprehensive list of various branches and sub-disciplines within systems theory: ### 1. General [[Systems theory]] - Holism and Reductionism - Systems Dynamics - Systems Thinking - Open and Closed Systems - Systemic Properties (e.g., Emergence, Feedback, Homeostasis) - System Structure and Function ### 2. [[Cybernetics]] - First-Order Cybernetics - Second-Order Cybernetics - Control Theory - Communication Theory - Autopoiesis - Cybernetic Systems ### 3. Complex Systems - Complexity Theory - Chaos Theory - Nonlinear Dynamics - Self-Organization - Network Theory - Agent-Based Modeling - Emergent Behavior ### 4.
