I almost agree with your Type 2 = “system”, replace [at a different level of abstraction] with [in a different model]. Going from quarks to atoms to chairs would be different levels of abstraction, yes, but I’m trying to point at a an even broader comparison with “system” being just a subset.
For example, I could describe the object “apple” using physics, chemistry, language, and photography. Comparing atoms with words with pixels wouldn’t be just varying abstractions, at least in my understanding of the word abstractions.
I’ve read your article, and thoroughly enjoyed the topic you were addressing directly. I believe you linked it for the similarity between “multiple objects in relation form a new object at a different level of abstraction” and progressing through each Kegan stage, is that correct?
