"... the systems concept seems to present a welcome new point of view. It suggests that the unity of science is to be sought in the uniformity of conceptual constructs or models applicable to diverse disciplines and hints at a unity of the world which these disciplines conceptualize. Evidently, whenever entities are studied and compared, there are diversities as well as uniformities. Both must be given equal weight and the specificity of the observable is reflected in the specificity of the corresponding branch of science. ... There are isomorphies or uniformities at a high level of abstraction. Of special importance are those that which concern 'system' in general, irrespective of their nature and their components. Such isomorphies indicate a unity of the observed universe and hence of scientific knowledge." (Bertalanffy)
