You've Got a Zinger Coming, Don't You
So, effectively, every isolated system is a isolated subsystem?
No. To be a subsystem it would necessarily have a relationship to another system. I'd think it goes without saying that two systems communicating their existence to each the other are not isolated from each other.
[qs][S]eems like a creator is required to be able to have a system of such in existence.[/qs]
In what way does it seem so? Are you saying imaginary constructs must have a creator? An ultimate imagineer? I'd be prone to agree.

17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness.
18 And we all live happily ever after.

Re-word It Then
I hate to be a real FosDICK here, but if you are saying that the universe is isolated from its surroundings, then you begging for the reply: WHAT SURROUNDINGS?
An isolated system is one that has no interaction with other then itself. In the case of the Universe there can be no interaction with other then itself because there is no other.
Begging terminated.
