A NOTE ON STRUCTURAL INFERENCE IN SYSTEMS THEORY
Ireneusz Sierocki · International Journal of General Systems · 1986
The paper deals with one of the main issues of systems theory, i.e. the relationship between the part and the whole. This issue is discussed within the framework of the structural inference. The problem of discovering those properties of systems that remain invariant under a given type of connection is considered. A solution of this problem is proposed for the parallel and serial connections of automata, due to an application of some appropriately formulated rules of the structural inference.
