has continuant part at all times spatially disjoint from material entity system system environment environnement de système ambiente del sistema A material entity that surrounds and is distinct and disjoint from a system. See the comment under the "system" class. We envision discussions with subject matter experts regarding whether the current SCO representation of system-system component (and related environment) parthood is suitable or whether a proper parthood-based representation is more adequate.
