Dear James and friends,
While I was trying to review the document, I happened to find the following definitions of ‘System’ among many.
A: A complete exhibition of essential facts arranged in rational dependence or related by some common law, principle, or end
B: A collection of inter-related parts that, by virtue of the relationships between them, does things its parts cannot do their own
My question as non-native: What is essential difference between A and B?
I would appreciate as many responses as possible.
Best regards

Thanks, Aleksander, for your comments and recommendation. I will write additional article to explain about the reason why I selected these two defintitions.

Subject: Re: [SysSciWG] Fwd: Invitation to review SE & System Definition document
The chosen A and B definitions could be to some degree understood as a difference between systems thinking/science/theory and cybernetics respectively. Something can be useful for engineering as in paying an engineer's bills or doing something that makes sense in the long run and across a large scale. Also, there is hardly any paradigm hidden within the definition B. Try to use the definition B in order to make any assumption about computability, artificial intelligence, sustainability, having a job that makes sense...
