Meta-System?
Alexander Samarin,Swiss business architect, commented[1]: You have defined metaprocess as a process that orchestrates or transforms other processes. I think that orchestrate is more relevant to “system of processes”. My reply: Good point about orchestrating being the right verb for meta-system rather than metaprocess. As always, we need to be careful not to think of system in just the computer sense. Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary [MWUD] defines system in the sense I mean here as:1a: a complex unity formed of many often diverse parts subject to a common plan or serving a common purpose b: an aggregation or assemblage of objects joined in regular interaction or interdependence : a set of units combined by nature or art to form an integral, organic, or organized whole : an orderly working totality : a coherent unification
A system in that sense could include rules, roles and many other things. It’s much more than just a process. Huge difference. So yes, I agree with meta-system orchestrates other systems. http://www.brsolutions.com/3b: of a higher logical type – in nouns formed from names of disciplines and designating new but related disciplines such as can deal critically with the nature, structure, or behavior of the original ones *metalanguage* *metatheory* *metasystem*
