Your Definition
A system that exchanges matter, energy, information, or influence with its environment—it's open to outside input, open to change, open to learning. Open systems are the default in nature: ecosystems exchange nutrients, economies exchange goods, [relationships] exchange feelings. Open systems can adapt, evolve, and surprise you, which is both their strength (they can improve) and their challenge (they're [unpredictable]). Open systems are what therapists work with, what managers struggle with, and what anyone in a [relationship] is definitely dealing with. The opposite of an open system is a closed system, which is either a very simple machine or a person who's decided never to change.
