We have learned that when dealing with living systems, the many variables of developing interaction become untenable to consider in such mechanistic parameters. The inclusion of mutual learning in the terminology is specifically meant to preclude the models of engineering and mechanism that are implicit in much systems theorizing today. The existing word, “system”, while useful for discussion of many kinds of systems, does not communicate contextual fields of simultaneous learning as is necessary for life. The new word, and concept, for “system” that I propose is one which highlights the expression and communication of interdependency and, particularly, mutual learning. I would like to propose a new word for “System” that refers specifically to living systems – that is, to systems which emerge from the communications and interactions of living vitae (another new term, one which will be defined later). Proposing a New Word that Refers to Mutual Learning in Living Systems: The next chapter is on mutual learning contexts that are comprised of living and non-living systems.I hope it will be useful for you as well. The following pages are a beginning of a concept and terminology that I have found useful in my own work to describe the learning within shifting interactions and patterns through time. It will be published in the ISSS Journal as well. This paper was presented at the International Society for Systems Sciences Conference in Berlin August 2015.
