This structure shapes MetaData into dynamic relationships (defined by x2x model) and enables multi-dimensional point of view aligned with Spheres methodology together with ability to supports all architectural levels (conceptual, contextual, logical and physical). The ability to support all architectural levels is represented by wide scale of structure detail and granularity of data describing this MetaSystem. Visually, every #CIEL symbol (within the #Ecosystem) can represent different level of MetaSystem structure and provide basis for different level of data granularity (MetaData). Every MetaSystem consists from two or more entities which can represents more complex systems and can be specified with various level of detail. MetaSystem itself is defined as open or close (can have private or public interfaces) and connection between entities inside are specified in same manner. This connection attributes could be further defined with various isolation and sharing levels. ![[Pasted image 20230709114609.png|Figure 1: MetaSystem]] **MetaSystem Entities** are essential building blocks of every MetaSystem. Examples of MetaSystem Entities are: human, resource pool, processor, money etc. **MetaSystem Connections** are structure building blocks. The Connections are key elements in building dynamic MetaSystem structures. Every connection could be *closed* or *open* (independently). MetaSystem connection is either connecting two or more entities together, or creating a domain / boundary. *Domains and Boundaries* are splitting physical and logical words; therefore we can create independent entities which contain advanced entity structures. Good example is Human Body. Human is an entity, but it also represents Super Entity (human’s body contains massive amount of biological systems created from cells), structured by various domains/boundaries within the body physically and also logically inside the brain. ![[Pasted image 20230709114709.png|Figure 2: Connections]] And finally, categorization of MetaSystems into Information Domains is driven by MetaSystem patterns ( #TechnoSystem, #SocioSystem, #EconoSystem, and #BioSystem) and their MetaData description. You can learn more in posts dedicated to MetaData and MetaNotation. ### Open and Closed Ecosystems All Metasystems (and their structures) are dynamically described by #MetaNotation. Dynamic behaviour of ecosystems is a central theme of MetaX, supported by [[Sharing and Isolation levels within Multi-tenancy reference model|multi-tenant models]] with isolation and sharing levels representing open and closed systems and connections between MetaStructure. We can observe example of these models and flexibility of their dynamic behaviours with associated ecosystem patterns at conceptual Cloud level below ![[Pasted image 20230709114736.png|Figure 3: Open and Closed Ecosystems]] Another examples are conceptually evolving around #business and #technology ecosystems focusing on boundaries, domains and their open / closed communication levels (sharing and isolation levels). ![[Pasted image 20230709114805.png|Figure 4: Business Ecosystem]] Concept of technical ecosystem is more decentralized than business ecosystem, driven by multi-dimensional encapsulation layers and broker/provider distributed architecture. ![[Pasted image 20230709114832.png|Figure 5: Technology Ecosystem]] To summarize conceptual discussion about MetaSystems, crucial aspect of all Metasystems is dynamic behavior of structures and the need for correct interpretation of isolation and sharing levels. ## Related to [[MetaSystem Design - From Concept to Context]] [[MetaSymbols or how to implement InfoSymbolism]]
