related_tosame_as
Represented by wires in process theory; the objects that processes act upon
Programming System
related_to
Defined as an integrated and complete set of tools sufficient for creating, modifying, and executing programs, including notations, facilities, and interfaces—broader than programming languages alone.
system as a whole
related_to
Alexander’s term for a system of interactive forces; a parallel to the interpretation of form as a diagram of forces.
model
associated_with
A representation that captures relevant aspects of a system; according to the theorem, the regulator must embody this.
complex dynamic system
extends
Type of system with many interacting parts that evolves over time; examples in abstract.
regulator
associated_with
Entity that acts on a system to steer it towards a desired state; central to the theorem.

finding

Every good regulator of a system must be a model of that system.
about
The central mathematical theorem proved/expounded in the chapter.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
