Brief description

The analysis of the features and laws of functioning of open systems with active elements is carried out. The limited representation of them by formal mathematical models and the change in the concept of “project” are substantiated. The behavior of open systems with active elements approaches a mobile equilibrium (according to A.A. Bogdanov and L. von Bertalanffy), similar to the behavior of living organisms, and that system is cannot be assembled from parts. Consequently, the traditional principles of organizing the assembly process from parts are inapplicable. It is necessary to develop a different approach to the creation of such systems. The history of the emergence of an approach based on the composition of the main components of the system (a “gene” of F.Ye. Temnikov) and “growing” the system is considered. Variants of the implementation of this approach are presented. Described of the implementation of this concept are given on the basis of “switching” humanitarian and formal thinking and using the methods related to them. Other examples of the implementation of the proposed concept are given. Prospects for the further development of the concept are considered.
