gst was presented in 1969 by von bertalanffy as a theory that encapsulates "models, principles, and laws that apply to generalized systems or their subclasses, irrespective of their particular kind, the nature of their component elements, and the relationships or "forces" between them. ... it [is] a theory, not of systems of a more or less special kind, but of universal principles applying to systems in general", so that the subject matter of gst is "the derivation of those principles which are valid for "systems" in general". however, by the early 1970s he was seeking to broaden the term to stand for the general subject of "systems inquiry", arguing that "systems science" (which includes the systemics and the 'classical' version of gst), "systems technology" and "systems philosophy" are "aspects" of gst that "are not separable in content but distinguishable in intention". this perspective is supported by modern von bertalanffy scholars such as david pouvreau.
