Episode 52: The Six Types of Whole-Part Relations
Description
Broadcast date: December 16th, 2024, 19:00 CET
As a systems engineer, you’re constantly navigating whole-part relationships: system-of-systems, component breakdown structures, or functional decompositions, just to name a few. But have you ever taken a step back to consider these relationships from a more philosophical perspective?
In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of whole-part relationships. Why is a slice of cake still considered a cake, but a single part of a forest is not a forest—it’s a tree? We’ll explore the theory behind six distinct types of whole-part relationships and examine how SysML addresses them.
Tune in to gain new insights into how these concepts shape your systems thinking and engineering practices!
