A system(Q58778) is defined to be a collection of related things. Therefore, all systems can be defined as a tuple of set of things, and a set of relations.

A system  can be defined as a tuple: , 

where

 is a collection of things,  and 
 is a set of relations that relates two things .

Systems as Categories

Based on the above-mentioned definition, a system provides the data structure to represent categories. Furthermore, it is feasible to develop an Algebra of Systems[1][2].
