General System Theory and the unfolding of universal patterns
The text argues that General System Theory, started by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, identifies universal patterns across physical, biological, and social systems. It describes differentiation and synthesis as core processes, notes how energy and matter emerge from space time, cites Capra and Pauli, and links cybernetics to evolution and society. The piece frames GST as a bridge of science and philosophy shaping a new era of understanding.
