Editing Systemantics (section)

== Title origin ==
The term '''''systemantics''''' is a commentary on prior work by [[Alfred Korzybski]] called [[general semantics]] which conjectured that all systems failures could be attributed to a single root cause – a failure to communicate. Gall observes that, instead, system failure is an ''intrinsic feature of systems''. He thereby derives the term ''general systemantics'' in deference to the notion of a sweeping theory of system failure, but attributed to an intrinsic feature based on laws of system behavior. He observes as a side-note that system antics also playfully captures the concept that systems naturally "act up."{{Sfn|Gall|1978|p=24}}
