Instance Specification Systemics, Most Basic Science (Watson)
"Systemics is the branch of science that addresses holistic systems (Watson, Schwartz & Russek, 1998). Wholes need to be conceptualized and studied as systems because they are not merely the sum of their parts. Because neutrons, electrons, and protons do not add up to living systems—even the simplist ones—we can know everything there is to know about fundamental particles, yet not know anything about systems that are composed of those particles. Moreover, since the systems studied in science are holistic, Systemics is the root scientific discipline, underpinning physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, and all the other branches of science. It is also the root of mathematics because each mathematical system is holistic.
Systemics is foundational to all other sciences because it addresses the topic that is fundamental to all the operations of the universe: organization per se.
