ABSTRACT
A buildable system design is the system resultant of a system coupling recipe whose component models represent hardware, software, and bioware components in the specified technology. The time-indexed system mode is frequently a useful concept in the elaboration of system models. The opposite of the transient system mode is the absorbing system mode characterized as follows: once an absorbing system mode is entered, it is thereafter forever manifest. The phenomenon of constriction of input or output ports is particularly important for the study of system modes of components of a system coupling recipe. The concept of implementation usually refers to the relation between a functional system design and a real system. The functional system design represents what the real system should do functionally, and if the real system has that functional capability then it is said that the real system implements the functional system design.
