1939 F. H. MacDougall Thermodynamics & Chem. (ed. 3) x. 134 When a transfer of matter to or from a system is also possible, the system may be called an open system.

1962 P. Strevens Papers in Lang. (1965) xii. 152 The study of closed-system items is what we conventionally call ‘grammar’, while the open systems constitute ‘lexis’.

1963 A. K. Rice Enterprise & its Environment iv. xx. 184 Open systems exist and can only exist by the exchange of materials with their environment... An open system can achieve a time-independent steady state.

1971 J. Z. Young Introd. Study Man ii. 26 Organisms are not stable systems..but ‘open’ systems maintained in a steady state by continual expenditure of energy.

1989 W. T. Singleton Mind at Work (BNC) 33 The organisation, like a living organism, maintains a dynamic equilibrium with the environment. Thus it is an open system rather than a closed one.

2. Computing. A computer system in which the components conform to non-proprietary standards rather than to the standards of a specific manufacturer.
