Meta-system Primer
• Meta-systems are a different way to look at things than systems.
• In order to be able to make the points of my paper it is necessary to understand Meta-systems viz Systems
• This is a brief primer to allow the challenges that are cited in this presentation to be understood better

Bataille “Accursed Share”
• General Economy• Meta-system• International waters• Lawlessness of the
high seas• Piracy, reflaging
ships, contraband and smuggling
• Restricted Economy• System• Nation states control
what is within their borders, ideally
• Really a meta-system inside = black and grey markets, barter and gift

Challenges
• Challenges to Systems Engineering in order to realize Intelligent Enterprises in its own practice– We need to show that we can create Intelligent
Systems Engineering Enterprises before we attempt to see the idea that we can System Engineer other Enterprises to be Intelligent
![Page 21: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Challenge One
• Systems Engineering must understand its own theoretical basis in Systems Theory. – Current Systems Theory is not adequate,
even with the addition of Complex Systems Theory, to deal with the reality of producing complex technological systems, less well complex human systems.
– “Complex Systems” does not leave the “System” schema
![Page 22: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Challenge Two
• Systems Engineering needs to develop Systems Theory in order to meet its needs and thereby extend it to other schemas besides systems, such as the meta-system schema.
• Systems Engineering needs to understand the nature of General Economies or Meta-systems and how to deal with them practically.
![Page 23: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Challenge Three
• Systems Engineering needs to become multi-schematic and transform itself into Emergent Engineering which focuses on producing emergent effects regardless of the schematic active media that is the target of its design and production activities.
![Page 24: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Challenge Four
• Emergent Engineering needs to understand not only other schemas but also the partial schema thresholds between schemas such as the Special Systems.– It needs to learn to theorize and apply those
theories to building Reflexive Autopoietic Dissipative Ordering Special Systems, i.e. Holonomic Systems.
![Page 25: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Challenge Five
• Emergent Engineering needs to understand how the Special Systems and Normal Systems combine to produce the Emergent Meta-system, which is a model of the Special Systems working together.
![Page 26: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Challenge Six
• Emergent Engineering needs to encompass a better understanding of how the human element plays into the systems and meta-systems it builds. – It needs to become more aware of the human
sciences such as psychology and sociology and other human sciences that naturally relate to its focus on producing a system that interfaces with the human being as operator, but also as a target or victim of its technological creations.
![Page 27: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenge Seven
• Emergent Engineering needs to apply the knowledge of Special Systems and Emergent Meta-systems to its own projects and its own human organization in its efforts to build technological and human systems.
![Page 28: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Challenge Eight
• Emergent Engineering needs to apply the knowledge of Systems, Meta-systems, Special Systems, and Emergent Meta-systems to its products, whether they are technological or human systems such as enterprises, corporations, institutions, virtual organizations, and teams. – We need to incorporate Intelligent Enterprises
in a manner that fosters human potential and growth rather than constraining it.
![Page 29: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Challenge Nine
• We must understand how Emergent Meta-systems Theory helps us understand our own practice such as the design of Emergent Systems or Meta-systems.
![Page 30: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Challenge Ten
• We need to influence other Academic Disciplines by bringing this new way of looking at things into the Universe of Discourse so that Emergence Engineering can claim its rightful place as an Emergent New discipline among the other disciplines that are already established in the academic community.
![Page 31: Exploring Intelligent Enterprise System Limitations Kent D. Palmer INCOSE 2007 070625 kent@palmer.name ://archonic.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061609/551510a4550346a80c8b5b43/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusion
• Transforming the Discipline by recognizing its broader foundation in multiple schemas.
• Develop Advanced Design Theories as a basis for Emergent Engineering.
• Realize Intelligent Systems Engineering Enterprise through the practical application of these advanced theories.
