Measurement criteria for probabilistic systems Symptoms appear as time-space configurations, and make little sense Symptom analysis must be based on qualitative factors, and the proper culture of a context.
Living systems say the context is based in the theory of thermodynamics.
World population as maximized pressure effects. Unlike Newtonian physics, need quantum theories. Quantum theories leave vague the connection between roots and symptoms, as probabilities. Have unpredictable individual events. Parson's and Merton's models have response to exogenous change.
