ABSTRACT

Systems have properties associated with the intrinsic nature of objects; traits associated with conditions and mechanisms; and attributes that are imputed to intangibles that represent measures. The epistemology of systems engineering integration intends to provide a basis for the measurement of a system as a system (through its properties, traits, and attributes). Products have only limited physical properties and attributes that can be used, but services are only constrained by access rather typically than limited. The essence of models and theory can be explained through frameworks. A framework is characterized by consistency of logic, and continuity of method. Metalessons signify the maturation of the discipline through considered discussions about philosophical bases for theories, the provenances of models, the efficacy of frameworks, and the operative frames that capture the essences of an experiment. The general nature of project for people to build or change ideas into a product or service is the essential character, the essence of the objective causalities framework.
