A regularity is understood as a stable dependence between the objects, phenomena, or processes under consideration. A regularity is called general systemic if it is inherent to systems of various natures and various purposes.
Regularities of the functioning and development of systems (regularities of systems) are general systemic regularities that characterize the fundamental features of the construction, functioning, and development of complex systems.
1. Regularities of wholeness and additivity
- Wholeness, or emergence
- Progressive systematization
- Progressive factorization
- Additivity
2. Regularities of goal formation
- The dependence of the understanding and formulation of a goal on the stage of cognition of the object (process) and on time.
- The dependence of the goal on external and internal factors.
- The possibility and necessity of reducing the task of formulating a generalized (overall, global) goal to the task of structuring it.
- Regularities of the formation of goal structures.
3. Regularities of hierarchical ordering
- Hierarchy
- Communicativity
4. Regularities of system feasibility
- Equifinality
- Ashby's law of requisite variety
- Fleishman's principle of potential feasibility
5. Regularities of system development
- Self-organization
- Historicity
