- “The subsystem composed of a single route in physical space, or multiple interconnected routes, over which markers bearing information are transmitted to all parts of the system” (J. MILLER, 1978, p.3).
This is one of the 20 critical subsystems in MILLER's taxonomy of living systems. As such, it offers general characteristics for channels and nets and is submitted to the general limitations of the same.
Channel and net appear in a similar way in FORRESTER's Systems dynamics.
