Examples: Cells and organs of a living system thrive on the food the organism obtains from its suprasystem; the member countries of a supranational system reap the benefits accrued from the communal activities to which each one contributes.
例如：一个生命系统的细胞和组织，依靠有机体从它的超系统中获取的食物而茁壮成长；一个超国家系统的会员国从公共活动到每个国家的贡献之中持续地收获利益。
