Meta-systems
Encyclopedia : M : ME : MET : Meta-systems
Meta-systems have several definitions. In general, they link the concepts "system" and "meta-".
According to this vague indication, we may assume that meta-systems or metasystems are systems composed of the common properties of a large class of systems.
For example, a mathematical modeling rule system for a domain D, is a meta-system for the concrete models of this domain.
In economics
Meta-systems are like what Bataille calls General Economies as opposed to the Restricted Economies of Systems. Meta-systems are the inverse of systems.
A book about the difference between General and Restricted economies is Complementarity by Arkady Plotnitsky. In this case "meta" is defined as what is beyond: the meta-system is what lies beyond the system.
Meta-systems refer to contexts, milieux, situations, ecosystems, environments surrounding a system which the system must interact with in order to remain viable. Meta-systems have a different structure (are complementary to) the structure of systems. Without this complementarity in tact the system could not remain viable or operate.
