-{{Quote|A stock is the foundation of any system. Stocks are the elements in the system that you can see, feel, count, or measure at any given time. A system stock is just what it sounds like: a store, a quantity, an accumulation of material or information that has built up over time. It may be the water in a bathtub, a population, the books in a bookstore, the wood in a tree, the money in the bank, your own self-confidence. A stock does not have to be physical. Your reserve of good will for others or your supply of hope that the world can be better are both stocks.

+{{author|Alan Moore}}, {{br|Jerusalem}}}}[[Systems theory]] eschews the reductionist, deterministic, “[[normal science|scientific]]” disposition and views the world in terms of inter-operating systems. That is to say, it treats the ordinary interactions of life as [[complex]] and not merely [[complicated]] problems to solve; as interactions of and between systems. System interactions are necessarily complex in that they are not finite, they are [[non-linear]], and the rules of engagement nor information about the system are neither complete, coherent nor static.
-Systems are comprise of stocks, flows, and feedback loops.
+Systems are comprised of stocks, flows, and feedback loops. Good primer is {{author|Donella H. Meadows}}’ {{br|Thinking in Systems}}.
