A system with clear boundaries—a definite edge between inside and outside, limited extent, manageable scope. Bounded systems are what we try to create when reality gets too complex: a budget (bounded by dollars), a project (bounded by scope), a relationship agreement (bounded by rules). Bounded systems are comforting because you can understand them, control them, predict them. The problem is that most real systems aren't bounded—we just pretend they are so we can function. A budget is bounded; your actual financial life isn't. A project plan is bounded; the actual work isn't. Boundaries are useful fictions, but they're still fictions.
Example: "He created a bounded system for his work—clear tasks, clear deadlines, clear boundaries between work and life. For a while, it worked. Then a crisis hit, and the boundaries dissolved. Work leaked into life, deadlines shifted, tasks multiplied. The bounded system had been a useful fiction, but a fiction nonetheless. He rebuilt it, knowing it would fail again. That's what you do with bounded systems—you maintain the fiction because the alternative is chaos."
