Systomics is the foundational science of systems thinking. It asks and seeks to answer these two key questions: ‘What is a system (in the abstract)?’, and, ‘What is the meaning of this (particular) system?’ Systems thinking is itself an applied science asking ‘How can the notion of system be used to make sense of or to improve reality?’ Applied systems thinking benefits a wide range of domains and thereby provides testimony and future insights for systomics.
At Stevens Institute of Technology within the School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE), the Systomics Laboratory has been established to study the science of systems thinking so we may look at systems over space and time and may find the true systemic remedies to systemic failures.
