Level 1 Systems models therefore are theoretically different depending upon the classification and kind of system under consideration.</div> <bR> <div> We have at this time identified five general kinds of Level 1 Systems:</div> <bR> <div> A. Abstract systems</div> <div> B. Physical systems</div> <div> C. Biological systems</div> <div> D. Anthropological (Symbolic) systems</div> <div> E. Alternative systems</div> <bR> <div> We may hypothesize that the complete range of these five kinds of systems has not been exhaustively understood or comprehended. We may also hypothesize new kinds of Level 1 systems that we have not previously comprehended--what might be called "preterphysical systems" and possible extra-biological systems as well as non-anthropological symbolic systems that may occur in reality. These possible systems at this time form a subclass of Alternative Systems.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <p align="center"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) </script> <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth} else {c=screen.pixelDepth} j=navigator.javaEnabled() </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");} NS2Ch=0 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1} if (NS2Ch == 0) { r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"" pr("<A HREF=\"http://www.TheCounter.com\" TARGET=\"_top\"><IMG"+ " BORDER=0 SRC=\"http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383"+r+"\"><\/A>")} </script> <NOSCRIPT> <a HREF="http://www.TheCounter.com" TARGET="_top"><img SRC="http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383" ALT="TC" BORDER="0" width="88" height="31"></a> </NOSCRIPT>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
