Epistemological peculiarities of the emergence of system ontology

In the article some peculiarities of the emergence of system ontology, ie a set of abstract objects and abstract patterns that represent systemic whole. The author draws attention to the role of technological practices and practical knowledge in the process. Engineering practice is an area of active action aimed at creating structures with a certain function. These are in fact all the simple and complex technological devices. However, the specific system views are born in the practice of engineering in the making, based on scientific knowledge. The first step in this direction has been made in identifying the role of the physical process is the system start devices such as the steam engine. The principle of operation sets its integrity and in the implementation of this principle is defined morphological structure of the machine. At the same time issued the structural and functional vision of this type of objects and abstract means of representation structures, as the implementation of the principle requires that you specify the functional role of certain morphological units for implementation. The development of knowledge of such occurrence and prepared to use the system view of a general nature. Last begin to form on as the subject of the reaction are objects with multiple functional links to external influences. In the field of engineering practice, this process presents challenges regulation of certain complex devices, even if they are hard and stable relations of elements. One of the first tasks in the technical environment has speed control and power of the steam engine. Generalize the notion of regulation and management system developed not only on the basis of technical expertise, but also in the study of natural systems, more labile and give more material to the system view. It is important that these systems are also beginning to be seen in light of the problems discussed management and optimization. During such studies the idea of of self-organization had been emerged and has become a new stage of systems research. Special attention is paid to the role of mathematical tools for describing complex objects, the use of which has required the transition to the new scheme of their ontological representation. In particular, the mathematical description of the dynamics of nonlinear systems paved the way for the construction of an ontology of complex self-systems. That was the way of building a new ontology of synergy, the first abstraction that is born in the mathematical theory of catastrophes. Universality of mathematical description of complex systems contributes to building generalized ontological structures representing investigate the dynamics of self-organizing systems with different internal maintenance.
