We Change the “System”

The word “meta” can sometimes mean “transcendent” or “extra-dimensional”, but it is difficult to perceive what is transcendent and how it is transcendent
Taking elections as an example, there is a mechanism (system) called government that aims to make society better.
If the government does not function properly, the society will not improve, so there is a need to improve the government. For this, there is an election system for selecting politicians in the government.
Here, the election system is a system to improve the governmental system, and can be called a metasystem for the governmental system.
The word “meta” can be used since the election system is on a higher level than the governmental system, in the sense that it can change the government itself.

In other words, a metasystem is a system that controls or builds a target system.
A metasystem generally has a mechanism for changing the original system significantly.
Our mission is to make use of technology to conduct research and development of metasystems for society and business, in order to make a better society with a bigger impact.
