Independence of the equational axioms for iteration theories

Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1988
The author's characterization of iteration theories by five equational axiom schemes [Comput. Linguist. Comput. Lang. 14, 183-207 (1980; Zbl 0466.68010)] contained one redundant identity [J. Comput. Syst. Sci. 27, 291-303 (1983; Zbl 0532.68011)]; in the present paper, four models are constructed to demonstrate the independence of the remaining four ...

From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how
