For me, this approach is especially interesting related to PIM/GTD. Without looking into Wikipedia or such and without deeper background knowledge, I'd have *guessed*: - systems are made of processes - system is a higher level process, accomplishing bigger things than a task - a process defines a method to accomplish a task - frameworks are generic tools for implementing a process - a method is the underlying principle of how a process is designed YMMV :-) -- Karl Voit
