Transceivers are the most general type of subsystem as they will be receptors as well as actuators with regard to conserved quantities such as matter, energy, or information. Typically, all manufacturing in an economy (secondary sector) can by seen as a transceiver, receiving raw materials, while pushing onward finished goods to distributors. Note that when order flows are modeled explicitly even subsystems of the primary sector such a,s mining, fishing, and agriculture, may be modeled as transceivers.

On a lower level of aggregation we may simply conceive of transceivers as subsystems that start with a stock port on one end while transmitting matter via a flow port on the other end.
