2nd Edition, as published by Charles François 2004 Presented by the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science Vienna for public access.

About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

CONTEXTS (Psychological) 1)2)3)

The Greek psychiatrist and systemist N. PARITSIS (Zeugma, 2000) enounces the following contextual links that can activate, desactivate or transform the psychological orientation ("tropos") of a person:

He writes: "Contexts can be in the natural environment reflected in the mind, or directly in the mind as in the cases of:

- situations of the present or the past

- stages of human systems intelligent development

- the supra-systems in which the human system belongs such as families, work environment

- human systems relations such as friendship, love, hate

- particular interactions of the moment such as quarreling, courtship, running

- emotional states such as anger, fear, love, anxiety, depression, peacefulness, hapiness

- theories, beliefs, values

- cultures, myths, religions

- political or social organization

- nations"

Psychological contexts (and cultural ones) are a matter of very serious concern considering the acceleration of general transformation of mankind as well as the multiplication of interrelations among millions of people of many different origins.
