ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces change as a systemic idea. To change systemically means changes system-wide. To refer to change as systemic change is to expect detectable altercations within and between all parts of the whole. It is to anticipate the presence of something different in many locations throughout the whole. A topographical and semantic comparison is useful before connecting systemic change to praxis and human inquiry. The coverage may be viewed as an initiative to contextualize the confluence of systemic change, human inquiry, praxis, and praxiology. The systemic nature of the figure stems from three qualities worth highlighting. Emergent from the corners, the interplay among the three angles generates a seamless experience of human inquiry for the researcher, the comprehension of inquiry is an integrating process, and the meta level comprehension of methodology is a general process. Change as a systemic idea at macro levels to the person may be illuminated through the confluence of human activities.
