Systemogenesis

Systemogenesis is the process of creation and development of a system, which occurs as a result of the interaction of its elements and the environment. It is a key factor in the development and functioning of any system, from biological to social.

Systemogenesis includes several stages:

1. Identification of system elements and determination of their functions. At this stage, the main elements of the system, their characteristics and roles in it are determined.

2. Determining connections between system elements. At this stage, connections are established between the elements of the system, which determine its structure and functionality.

3. Creation and configuration of the system. At this stage, the system is created and configured, including determining its parameters, setting up connections and elements, as well as determining the algorithms for the system’s operation.

4. System testing. At this stage, the system is tested for compliance with its requirements and objectives.

5. Operation and development of the system. At this stage, the system begins to operate in the real world, where it is exposed to various factors, such as changes in the environment, the emergence of new requirements and tasks. As a result of this process, the system is constantly developing and improving.

The key factor in systemogenesis is the interaction between the elements of the system and the environment. This interaction can be either positive or negative, and its outcome depends on how the elements of the system interact with each other and with the environment.

One example of systemogenesis is the creation of a computer network. In the first stage, network elements such as computers, routers and switches are defined. Connections are then established between these elements, which determine the structure of the network. After this, network parameters are configured, such as data transfer speed, addressing, etc. Finally, the network is tested to meet the requirements and objectives, after which it begins to work in the real world.

Another example of systemogenesis is the creation of software. At the first stage, the functionality of the software is determined, then connections are established between program modules, which determine its architecture. After this, the program is configured and tested.

This term first appeared in German technical literature in the fifties of the last century. In those years, the desire to understand the internal structure and functioning of technical systems became increasingly evident. The growing role of the systems approach in technical science was evidenced by the mathematical sciences, and above all cybernetics. In 1953 D. Neumann
