The book presents systems theory as a framework for developing a comprehensive scientific metaphysics, aiming to create a nonreductionist "theory of everything" distinct from traditional physics. It emphasizes the transdisciplinary nature of systems theory, applicable across various scientific fields and professions. Structured in three parts—Essay, Commentary, and Notes—it distills key systems concepts, explores their implications for science and broader societal issues, and includes accessible mathematical content for a diverse readership.
