Abstract
The development of a general theory of systems has been impeded by lack of progress with identifying and refining scientific general systems principles that could underpin the systematic discovery of systems laws and development of predictive systems theories. This paper discusses a model of the nature, roles and developmental pathways of principles in science generally and by analogy suggests ways in which scientific systems principles might be identified and leveraged by systems science. Eight strategies for such research are identified, and preliminary results of a first pilot project are presented. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
