What is "a immutable property of the system component", or even,
what is "a immutable property" and what is "a system component".

These should be defined per context of use as there is no unambiguous
definitions of these "properties".

So can you add a paragraph before this defining these concepts?
Otherwise, it would be pretty hard to review any of this.

I.e. I have to make my own imaginary definitions of them and possibly
make completely false conclusions what was meant.
