Abstract

Based on a comparison between two strands in SI and an analysis on the notion of "ideal model," this paper builds a general model of SI through the metaphor form function-defined ideal model in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This general dynamic model metaphoric from TCM is built on the base of Yin-Yang-Five-Phases theory. It is made up of five sub-systems and the supporting networks of innovation. Both static descriptions and evolutional dynamics of SI are discussed. Policy implications are given based on the basic features of SI as a complex adaptive system.
