Techniques all together compose the System, and every Technique is in practice expressed by a bunch of Ephemera.
Also, any particular event in play is usually a bundle of Techniques, not just one.

Specific procedures of play which, employed together, are sufficient to introduce fictional characters and locations into the Shared Imagined Space and to have them change in some way. Many different Techniques may be used in different combinations, in different games, to establish the same sorts of events. A given Technique typically includes a group of Ephemera which are employed together. Taken in their entirety for a given example of role-playing, Techniques comprise System.
