Abstract
The word diachronic means “concerned with the way in which something has evolved over time.” It is often opposed to synchronic. The previous chapter analyzed space system definition as a synchronic process; the present chapter will analyze it as a diachronic process. Together they provide a comprehensive overview of the system definition process.
