Abstract
Because the systems research and systemic reasoning employed herein are not commonly used by the scholars who work in areas this book touches, this chapter introduces the relevant basics in order to make this volume self-contained. On the other hand, for those readers who are not mathematically oriented, those of the following sections that are heavy with mathematical symbols, notations, and terminologies, can be skipped without causing any trouble with the reading of the rest of this book.
