Are there any layperson accessible books that explain these systems concepts? I’m curious if there’s a crossover application to organizational systems.
Not that I'm aware of. This was taught as an introductory course in mechanical systems design or something like that (it was many years ago).
But yeah, I frequently apply this concept way beyond its initial purpose, especially in matters that relate to managing human relations both professional and personal which, sometimes, closely resembles the application of the illusion of choice.
I'll do some research to see if there are any books that I can recommend.
