A system can be tightly coupled in one dimension and loosely coupled in another. The electrical grid is tightly coupled in strength — a generator failure propagates instantly — but loosely coupled in scope — protective relays isolate faults before they cascade globally.

<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Coupling''' is the mutual dependence and interaction between two or more systems, subsystems, or components, such that the state of each influences the state of the others. In [[Systems Theory|systems theory]], coupling is what transforms a collection of independent parts into a coherent whole — and what makes that whole unpredictable from the properties of its parts alone. Tight coupling accelerates the propagation of perturbations, turning local failures into global cascades; loose coupling buffers systems from each other, enabling independent evolution at the cost of coordination overhead. The study of coupling is the study of how boundaries dissolve — and why the attempt to draw sharp boundaries around "the system" is usually the first step toward misunderstanding it.<br />
