Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article proposes an onto‐epistemic notion of system as a relational process of unifying a multiplicity of actuals and abstractions into an actual unity, thereby encompassing concreteness and abstraction onto the same plane. This notion rejects the opposition between constructivism and realism within systems studies, the excessive focus on
