- “The set of global properties of a system in adult state” (Adapted from M. BUNGE, 1979, p.100).
This concept originates in biology and physiology.
BUNGE comments: “… while every organism inherits its genome, it evolves its own phenome in a given environment: the phenome depends then upon the genome and its environment” (p.101).
The phenome reflects adaptiveness in systems. It would be interesting to find out if sociosystems acquire a phenome, and how.
