elements: perfume molecules. oxygen molecules. Bottle. People.
interconnections: taking the cap off. patcholi bouncing of oxygen molecules. people smelling it.
function: to smell.
clouds=background
System: a collection of parts which are held together with some overall function
Boundaries depend of perspectives and space.
Nestedness: multiple levels, systems within systems within systems etc.
Laws of thermodynamics: energy can only be transferred not created or destroyed.
All energy is decaying to pure heat.
Feedback that occurs in systems: balancing, reinforcing. (Self-regulation)
-NonLinear: rapidly depletes a stock
DAVID ORR - Speed

How water flows, watershed is an area that is drained by one system. A river system is fractal. An ecosystem is like a human body, it's a complex system.
