Systems which are closed can have connections which are supported by elements or conditions fictional to the system in which they live. A television show is a closed system, a virtual terrarium of life and light, and we get to observe as meaning germinates between the characters and elements of the story-lines.
I'm not a trained thinker, but perhaps another closed system is life itself, if we could see that we are just like slugs on the ocean floor, notches are being grooved into our brains in response to our experience, much like lower life forms adapting to their surroundings. So why the worry about where the "soul" goes?
