What Is a System?
A system has components, relationships between them, a function or purpose, and boundaries defining what's inside versus outside.

What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article said parts analysis cannot understand systems, attributed the first-law-of-ecology quote to Garrett Hardin, cited a Lane UK-government 40% causal-loop effect, and gave universal Worm fish-stock recovery timelines.
What was corrected
Qualified the reductionism and Lane claims, corrected the ecology-quote attribution to Barry Commoner, and reframed the Worm recovery figures as stock-dependent ranges.
Why this is better
The quote was mis-attributed and several claims were more absolute than the evidence supports. Corrections fix the attribution and scope the claims rather than adding new sources.
