"Parallel systems generalize to what I will call a 'network.' A network has no 'top' or 'bottom.' Rather it has a plurality of connections that increase the possible interactions between components of the network. There is no central executive authority that oversees the system. A network has lots of redundancy, so that if a part of a network is destroyed, the whole network continues to function. Most real systems are mixtures of hierarchies and networks."
