| Connected Systems are just complex things that you encounter that are related to each other. Examples are given below, but a very simple example is a highway.

| This is really just a starting point to understand the concept. If you find yourself noticing a Connected System, relax your mind and experience the following things. | | This is really just a starting point to understand the concept. If you find yourself noticing Special Composition, relax your mind and experience the following types of things. |

| ** Within a system, notice there are parts (lanes, individual cars). Feel that they are just "parts" - they aren't the whole picture.

| | * Notice how easy and arbitrary it is to divide and combine things into systems that work together. This is an important step in understanding [[Adaptation]]. |

| ** individual parts - Notice they are discrete and autonomous in their own way - A rock is its own thing, disconnected from the other rocks in a pile.
| |
| ** two or more individual parts - How do they relate and compare and contrast; how do they work together; what connects them and separates them
| |
| ** similarities and differences between the following, noting how a system is composed and connected to other systems
| |
| *** specialized systems (cars driving in one direction together)
| |
| *** parallel systems (two lanes of cars)
| |
| *** opposing systems (two directions of traffic)
| |
| *** "ecology" - many systems that are loosely related (light poles, sidewalks and streets)

| |
| | |
| * Cars moving with you - all one system, but all individual cars
| |
| * Cars moving against you vs with you - two separate systems with opposing objectives, but at the same time, part of the same system of traffic flowing
| |
| * Notice other Systems and combinations of Systems, very similar to what you would notice when [[#Walking|Walking]].
