Aside on the System Seeing Journal Starter Kit: it is smuggling all manner of systems donkeys, in terms of the explicit areas of practice as well as the quotes as offers of “matter to think with.”
Still, it emphasizes models and diagramming, so this struck me earlier today:
“For systems practitioners then, modelling is core to the discipline — if you’re not modelling you’re not doing systems”
— Patrick Hoverstadt
