系统学(systematology)及系统复杂性与中医药理论研究的探讨

著名科学家钱学森对系统科学（system science）在中国的发展起了主导及重要的作用,早在上世纪50年代,他在美国出版了闻名于世的《工程控制论》,回国后倡导了系统工程的发展。近期致力于创建系统学的基础层次的系统学（systematology）提出开放的复杂巨系统（人文与科技相结合系统）及处理这类系统的方法论（人机结合、从定性到定量的综合集成法）,形成了我国对系统复杂性研究的特色,并可以用于处理“人体”这样一个开放的复杂巨系统。因之,可供中医药理论在创新发展中探讨。

Systematology/System Complexity and TCM Study

Renowned Chinese scientist H.S. Tsien has played an important role in developing the system science in China.As early as in the 1950s, he published his Engineering Cybernetics in United States. When returning to China, Tsien initiated the development of system engineering in the country. In recent years, Tsien has paid more attention to the fundamental and basic levels of the system science, or systematology and "Open Complex Giant Systems (a system combining both scientific and social studies)", and associated methodology for handling the system (human- machineinteractive symbiosis;Metasynthesis from a qualitative opinion to quantitative understanding). These efforts have defined the nature of system complexity in such a manner that it can used to handle "human body". This implies that the theory can be an effective tool for facilitating the study of traditional Chinese medicine.
