A computer program is a semantically interpretable formal symbol system consisting of rules for manipulating symbols on the basis of their shapes, which are arbitrary in...

In part this has occurred concomitantly with theoretical developments in systems thinking itself, but a significant contribution has been made by the continual criticism and subversion of the positivist research orthodoxy by interpretative and other anti-positivist approaches. ...
