Systems theory is an interdisciplinary field that studies the nature and behavior of complex systems in nature, society, and science. It involves understanding systems by examining the interconnections and interactions among their components. Here's a comprehensive list of various branches and sub-disciplines within systems theory:

1. General Systems Theory ¶

Holism and Reductionism

Second-Order Cybernetics
Control Theory
Communication Theory
Autopoiesis
Cybernetic Systems

3. Complex Systems¶

Complexity Theory
Chaos Theory
Nonlinear Dynamics
Self-Organization
Network Theory
Agent-Based Modeling
