Abstract
In chapter 2 we described a certain class of processes under the collective term “transformation”, and defined some terms and characteristics. At this stage, a number of further terms and symbols are introduced, and briefly brought into context. More precise and complete definitions and discussions of some terms may be found in appendix B, and the symbols are listed in the preface section of this book. The remainder of this book will serve to give fuller explanations of these concepts, and progressively expand the scope to show the theory of technical systems. It will also show some of the consequences of this theory for engineering design and designers, although this aspect is covered more thoroughly elsewhere [112, 119].
