characteristics of metameaning
Metameaning
Literally 'the meaning of meaning', metameaning is a methodology for analysing and engineering systems. These systems may be complex physical systems such as an oil distillery, or they may be social systems such as community health services.
Metameaning is:
-
scalable - it can be applied at any scale regardless of size - from sub-atomic particles to galaxies
-
applicable - it can be applied to any system regardless of complexity - from the simple lever to biological and political systems
-
complementary - it extends understanding without conflict
Metameaning is commonly employed as a System Engineering methodology.
