- Title
On the Clarification of System Levels.
- Authors
Zimmermann, Rainer E.
- Abstract
The author comments on an article by professor Manfred Füllsack on the properties of second-order science where he suggests that the observer is part of the system. He criticizes the failure of Füsack to adequately address the issue of the second law of thermodynamics. He also presents an illustrative elaboration on slime mold aggregation emerging from the interaction of unicellular amoeba and its messenger acrasine and discusses the concept of entropy.
