The Architecture of Hierarchy: A Quantitative Approach
W. Czuchra
(Merchant Marine Academy, Gdynia, Poland)
Abstract
The majority of studies in General System Theory do not consider any specific configuration of relations between elements. One such configuration is hierarchy which exists in many aspects of reality. A quantitative approach to the representation of hierarchies, as opposed to a qualitative approach, is described. Some properties of the mathematical model of various hierarchies are examined and real‐life examples are presented.
