Social Systems Thinking
Systems
Systems are collections of parts whose relationships change relatively slowly, so they can be recognised as a whole. The behaviour of the whole is more than just the sum of the behaviours of the individual parts.
Systems Thinking
Systems Thinking is a collection of tools that allow us to understand what systems do, how they do it, and how to change them.
It allows us to make some predictions of how systems will behave in the future. It is partly an additional set of tools which augment the ways in which we think about simpler problems and partly a method which selects the right tool for the job and acknowledges that the simpler tools may give a wrong, but potentially persuasive answer.
Social Systems
Social systems are systems whose main parts are human beings[1], but may be made up of smaller social systems and infrastructure. For example, a country such as Canada is made up of a population of about 40 million people, has a federal government and Provinces, has transportation systems, border control points, several education and health systems and more.
The behaviour of social systems is more complex than that of inanimate systems for four reasons.
- Their principle parts—humans—are already very complex systems themselves. Many sources have claimed that the human brain is the most complex system in the universe (e.g. Patrick Kraus—The Most Complex System in the Universe)[2].
- Each human can play many different roles in different social systems which make up a bigger system and the way they play those roles differ widely between people in the same in ways that, for example, the a cog in a mechanical system does not do.
- We, the humans who are trying to understand the systems, are part of and shaped by the very systems we are trying to understand. And that shaping includes stories about how the systems work
- Social systems change significantly while remaining recognisably the same system. We call this “history”.
Social Systems Thinking
Social Systems Thinking is a collection of tools that allow us to understand what social systems do, how they do it, and how to change them. Just as the simpler tools that are used to understand simple collections of things are not always adequate for systems, so the systems thinking tools for inanimate systems like clocks and heating systems are not always useful for understanding the more complex behaviours of social systems.
- InB4 There are many other species which form social systems, but for brevity on this site I don’t usually bother writing “human social systems”↩︎
- If each human brain is an example of the most complex system in the universe, isn’t global society—an interacting collection of eight billion of them—even more complex?↩︎

Values, Ethics, Purposes and Requirements
If we want to change our social systems for the better, we need to know what “better” means, and for whom.
Even the Prime Minister of Canada used to think we should start there; he wrote a book called “Value(s)”, in which he argued that we should put ethical values before financial value. Unfortunately, he seems to have changed his mind since becoming Prime Minister; he is now solidly in favour of growing the economy (rich people’s wealth and power) even if it means destroying the environment and retreating before Trump’s attacks.
I find it useful to distinguish a few levels of desired results of the behaviour of a social system. Values and ethics are broadly applicable across a whole society, whatever that may be. In a globalised world, it is the whole planet. It’s not clear to me how we could divide the world into parts with different basic values and avoid conflict, though maybe that is possible.
Values are broadly applicable set of basic principles that all social systems should satisfy. Examples include justice, equality of rights and dignity, duty and freedom.
Ethics are the rules of behaviour for individuals that enable the system to work according to the principles. Examples include treating others with respect and kindness, and showing solidarity with others.
Purposes and requirements are about specific systems.
- Purpose: The intended results of the system. Examples include, for a school, to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need, in specified areas. However, in all but the smallest systems, different people have different intentions. Some interested parties may want schools to produce “good” workers, whereas others may want them to help students to reach their full potential in directions defined by themselves.
- Requirements: The specific needs which a system must implement. Examples include “provide classroom instruction by people with specific skills”, “provide unbiased assessments of the capabilities of students as they enter and leave a program”.
In practice, it’s a lot more complex than this, and there is no clear dividing line between the levels. Whole schools of philosophy, with thousands of books and millions of scholarly papers have been devoted to values and ethics, and various post-secondary schools teach ethics aimed at specific systems, such as “business ethics.
I will have much more to say about this, later.

Humans are Social Animals—We need each other
Here is a blog post about the limitations of individual humans, our power as social animals, our obligations to each other and the radical change in our social systems that we need to change the social systems that give power to sociopaths.

Oxford boaters every day commons
There will be increasing experience of commons as lived infrastructure, not theory, not an idea waiting to be implemented. As the #mainstreaming keeps failing people will need practical, community-led way of meeting shared needs that work and exists wherever people cooperate outside of markets and hierarchy. Commons are not abstract systems, they are what people do when they stop waiting for permission. We have a recent example - #Oxfordboaters it is messy commons in real time, not a perfect […]https://hamishcampbell.com/oxford-boaters-every-day-commons/

We started by asking: what do our systems see?
Now we ask: do they allow people time to adapt?
Paper 2 looks at pension changes through the lens of expectation boundaries. When those shift too late, people are left bridging the gap themselves.
Not collapse—
but strain where it matters most. -

“Claude” isn't a person. It's not the kind of thing that could have had a job but no longer does. It can't “have” anything. It can't take responsibility for text posted on Substack.
We are damaging our social systems if we go along with the corporate marketing that tries to persuade us otherwise.
