B.2.2:4.4 - Delimitation and External Acting Systems

For system-result MHT, distinguish:

  • a part of the result system;
  • an external acting system that changes the result system or a constituent;
  • an environment or resource that participates in work;
  • a description, dashboard, twin, model, diagram, or publication about the result system.

A lathe making a workpiece, a controller steering a plant, or a teacher changing a learner does not thereby become a part of the changed holon or the larger whole containing it. Use A.12, A.3.4, and A.15.1 for acting side, transformation, and work. Use part-whole patterns only when parthood itself is admitted.
