I, of course, say YES. But, also, there is a question of when (where/how, as well) that a containing system needs to be discovered. In the case of the more intangible psychology (like much of psychology, for example: learning with great changes and great variability): I say the "containing" system is important to have NEAR the start of one's studies (e.g. of cognitive development and changes in learning and changes from [somethings called] 'learning' (more likely best thought of as systems of learnings, plural)). This is thus the perspective and approach I have put forward *.

[ YET NOTE: the "outer" system MUST BE OF A BIOLOGICAL NATURE -- but, by this, I do NOT mean isomorphic or exactly like any other biological system, BUT in conforming to necessarily applicable principles. ]

For my perspective and approach and details of the now-testable hypotheses, see: especially:
