Rfv-sense X 2. From Category:Systems theory, which may have more worth review. DCDuring TALK 00:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, there is no doubt that the collocation exists. The issue is whether each of the longish definitions given is supported by three citations in every detail. The definitions given arguably have half a dozen features each. As is common in such cases, what we have seems to amount to two prescriptive definitions of related concepts each used by one author or possibly a group of authors probably as paraphrases interpreted by our contributor(s). Whether attestable definitions are not SoP is an open question. It could only be seen once they were attested. There might well be a good shorter attestable non-SoP definition to be added, possibly more than one. DCDuring TALK 10:51, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
