Open systems comprise loosely-coupled entities interacting within a soci ety, often with some overall measures of quality o r efficiency. However, achieving and maintaining a 'good' society, such as through establishing and enforcing societial norms and policies, is difficu lt to achieve. There remains a need for tools and techniques for articulating or regulating interact ions in order to make the system more effective in attaining collective goals, more certain for part icipants, or more predictable.
