a set of systems whose parameters are maintained within their windows by the output of each other.

Ecosystem (noun) means: a set of systems whose parameters are maintained within their windows by the output of each other. It emerges from window, parameter, maintenance, feedback: The organized systems, grouped into a set, exchange feedback that communicates changes in their parameters, enabling mutual maintenance of each other's parameters within their respective ranges. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 18, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
