System-region, regions and economic systems. — System-region is to propose a conceptual definition of what is meant by region and develop an explicit process in regional geography. However it is necessary to define which types of system one is referring to. If economic systems are considered one could not avoid ascertaining that they tend to dis-structure the pattern of the regions. In other respects be careful not to theorize the appearances : one system may hide another. Interference is the rule and the conditions that allow a new system to emerge — systemogenesis — is of great interest for space analysis and the way one writes about it.
