Taking a nontechnical example, a human can drive a car, and both the human and the car are separate, highly-complex systems; the process view of the human and car, however, sees them as a single component defined by their interactions with one another and does not focus on the composition of either the human or the car separate from the interaction between them. Further, the process component view describes the interactions of that single component with others on the road, again without interest in the internal composition of other automobiles or drivers.
