Systems Thinking & Complexity Foundations
Includes core concepts of systems thinking and complexity, such as feedback, nonlinearity, emergence, and models for system description, structure and behavior analysis. Contains frameworks for cross-scale interdependence analysis, terminology and basic methods for modeling and visualizing systemic relationships. Excludes concrete implementation guidance, detailed software architecture designs and project-specific operationalizations.
Complexity Science

Cybernetics
Interdisciplinary concept for analyzing and designing control and feedback mechanisms in technical and social systems.
Systems Thinking
Holistic approach to analyze interconnected systems and their feedback mechanisms.
