Systems thinking in problem solving
Survival and achievement of ambitions are suggested as the fundamental activities in the living sphere which are innate and carried on incessantly by individuals, organisations and in the variety of communities. An undesirable, equilibrium state of an object or agent and a consistent, future state are recognised. The transformation is accomplished by a matching dynamic system/product which interacts with an environment. Recognition and transformation is called problem solving which is driven by an urge towards higher complexity to satisfy convenience, emotions, less mental and physical efforts leading to benefit or harm to the environment especially when conducted on a large scale. Natural language as the primary model is used for initial symbolising the recognition as a 'story' of a scenario which is converted into a reasoning structure by linguistic modelling into an integrated theory of problem solving for evaluation of the benefit or harm followed by remedial action.
