““Living systems are open systems; closed systems are non-living systems. Point: If we don’t communicate with outside world—to gain information for knowledge and understanding as well as matter and energy for sustenance— we die out to become a non-discerning and uninteresting part of that world.” And comes to the conclusion that, “Simply stated: As human beings, we cannot exist without an external or surrounding environment from which we can draw sustenance, nourishment, or support. In other words Interaction permits vitality and growth while Isolation leads to decay and disintegration.””
