This foreshadows the misleading misunderstandings to appear in Chapter 5.
Firstly, it is stratification, metafunction and rank that "bundle" systems together, not the reverse. The systems are devised according to the principles of strata, metafunction and rank, not the reverse.
Secondly, even within the misunderstanding that the "bundling" of systems is the basis of stratification, metafunction and rank, axis cannot be key. Stratification, metafunction, rank and axis are distinct dimensions, and stratification and metafunction differ from axis and rank in being a global rather than local dimensions.
