Abstract :
This paper explores a constructive systems approach to understand the immune system, starting from antibodies which are major units bearing specific recognition of the adaptive immune system. The exploration proceeds in stages: arrayed recognitions; networked recognition/actions; and diversified recognition/actions. System theoretic aspects of the immune system will be discussed with respect to possible application of immunity-based problem solving
