on System Recognition.

look around your bedroom, neighborhood, city. Look for what might be a system by looking at elements and trying to discern relationships between them: 

• washing hands

• showering

• cooking

• weight lifting

• soap type

• temperature

• skin problems

• days activities

• type of product being washed from hands (oil, paint, grease, dirt)

• when the last time washed

• water pressure

• time spent washing

Showering:

• soap type

• shampoo

• face cleanser

• company waiting?

• thorough scrubbing

• luffa, sponge, towel, hands

Cooking

• temp

• time 

• pan type

• portion cooking

• prep

• cleaning (how clean was the pot)

• fat used to cook?

Weight lifting

don’t worry too much about figuring out how the system works in any great detail. Don”t worry about what the individual parts are doing, look at the system as a whole and think of ways you can use the output and/or ways inputs can affect it. Think of it as a black box
