They exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. He saw that specialized sciences missed shared patterns of organization. He proposed a general framework to capture those patterns.\\n\\n## Core Results\\nBertalanffy defined General System Theory as the study of systems that exhibit wholeness, hierarchical organization, and equifinality. Equifinality means the same final state can be reached from different initial conditions. His work showed that principles of organization apply across physical, biological, and social domains without reduction to physics alone.\\n\\n## Primary Works and Passages\\nBertalanffy first announced the program in 1945. The paper \\\"Zu einer allgemeinen Systemlehre\\\" appeared in Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie. He expanded the ideas in \\\"An Outline of General System Theory\\\" (British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1950). The full synthesis appeared in General System Theory: Foundations, Development, Applications (George Braziller, 1968). In the 1968 volume he wrote: \\\"There is a general tendency towards integration in the various sciences, natural and social.\\\" He added that systems in different fields share isomorphic principles of organization. Chapter 3 reproduces the 1945 announcement. Chapter 1 states the aims of integration across sciences.\\n\\n## Convergence Patterns\\nBertalanffy identified wholeness and emergence. He described hierarchical organization. He noted equifinality in open systems. These map to convergence patterns of flow networks, bounded structures, and memory-like persistence across scales. The patterns appear in physical flows, biological growth, and social organizations.
