Golinelli’s VSA postulates• “A system is viable if it can survive in a particular sort of

environment”.

• “The viable system is projected toward pursuing purposes and attaining objectives and can be connected to supra-systems and subsystems from which and to which expectations, guidelines and rules can be received and allocated”

• “A viable system, as an autonomous entity, may be dissolved within the supra-system it refers to in a specific time-frame due to resonance processes which may follow conditions of consonance”

(Golinelli, 2010, p.55)
