Introduction

A knowledge base of the world’s systems

System is a free, open, and living public resource that aims to explain how anything in the world is related to everything else.

Today, System comprises millions of relationships between thousands of topics, and counting. As the world becomes increasingly complex and interdependent, our vision is to statistically relate everything as one system. We believe that seeing the whole system will help us all make better decisions — at home, at work, and as a society.

Platform

System is built on top of the System Platform, which comprises a suite of APIs, connectors, and packages powered by a large-scale graph database.

The platform extracts, enriches, normalizes, resolves, and stores metadata about things that are related statistically. These relationships can be searched and retrieved through open standards. The essence of the platform is the statistical relationship.

Evidence

The statistical evidence on System is retrieved from peer-reviewed scientific papers, open data, and open machine learning models.
