Abstract :
A systemic view of a productive system is presented, based on three ontologically different resources. The crucial features of this view are: (i) the weaknesses and strengths of a system reside in the interactions among the components; and (ii) the history of interactions explains the ontology of each resource. The view is illustrated through a brief description of the interactions occurring in the early development of a counting system
