Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we explain the three pillars upon which the design theory used in this book rests. A sign is some thing that stands to somebody for some other thing. A pattern is some set of things that repeat across situations. A system is a coherent set of patterns. Within business analysis and design, we are interested in patterns or systems of articulation, patterns or systems of instrumental communication, and patterns or systems of coordinated activity. Signs cross all three levels of pattern or system.
