Systemic Noise (Noise) as a Factor Reducing System Viability

This paper examines Systemic Noise (Noise) as one of the principal factors reducing system viability within the framework of Vitology as an interdisciplinary research program centered on the concept of viability. Systemic Noise is understood as the accumulation of disturbances, inconsistencies, fragmentation, and incoherent interactions that weaken coordinated functioning and reduce the capacity of systems to preserve integrity, regenerate, adapt, and develop. Unlike approaches that interpret noise primarily as informational interference or random fluctuations, Vitology considers Systemic Noise a universal systemic phenomenon affecting physical, biological, ecological, social, organizational, technical, and artificial systems. Particular attention is devoted to the relationship between Systemic Noise, Awareness (Aw), Coordination (Con), Coordinated Systemic Integrity (CON), the Norm of Harmony, and the continuous increase of system viability.
