Review of the history of reasoning and its relation to language and philosophy followed by an introduction of the concept of “Universal Priors.” Warfield then provides a tentative list of his universal priors and argues that science would not exist without them.

Patent for “Double Bridge Network for Producing Signals Having A Modulation Envelope Phase Difference.” Originally named “Electronic Goniometer.” Summary and schematic included. Warfield signed over patent rights to his employer Wilcox Electric Co., of Kansas City, MO. See also the paper by Warfield & Gooch "A precision electronic goniometer."

Unfinished paper that argues that American universities are going to be left behind by foreign competition. Contends that learning more about Warfield’s research would prevent this from happening.

A draft publicity piece that has a review of George Mason University activities and personnel. Warfield is listed as a faculty member on page 13.

Problem Statements and Warfield’s handwritten notes from Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) Workshop Understanding Defense Systems Acquisition Management. See also Understanding Defense Systems Acquisition Management (DSAM), Unedited.

Polish translation of Warfield’s article “Dual Basis Design.” Introduces the concept of “due process” in design that provides a basis for identifying and monitoring responsible management practices. This would result in a lower rate of catastrophic design failures and eliminate much of the waste which often occurs with large system design. Proposes establishment of basic design science, with standards and practices for large-scale system designs, with the view that over time such standards and practices…

A discussion of some systems science techniques which can be of use in the field of economics - the Theory of Dimensionality, the automated version of the logic of structure from De Morgan's Theory of Relations, the specially equipped situation room, the philosophy of frame-breaking and remodeling. Presented at World Congress on Cybernetics & Systems, Hunter College of City University of New York, New York City, 15 June 1990.

Originally written for the Editorial Board of Systems Research journal. Contains suggestions for the future development of the journal and urges a gradual change of editorial pattern toward a representation of a Domain of Science model in printed form. Suggests classifying the manuscripts received into the differing branches of science, followed by subdivisions of the editorial function, using a number of editors, each responsible for manuscripts in one well defined scientific field. A future possibility…

A description of the system used by the Journal Systems Research in reviewing and accepting refereed journal articles for publication, during the years that John Warfield was Editor-in-Chief. Warfield resigned as editor in 1990. Systems Research has subsequently been continued under a different publisher and editor.

A shorter version of the paper "A Course in Generic Design' in which Warfield proposes a college-level class on Generic Design. Includes Warfield’s Sigma-5 figure. Presented at International Conference on Mental Images, Values and Reality, 30th Annual Meeting of SGSR, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 26-30 May 1986. See also, “The Domain of Science Model: Evolution and Design” which Warfield presented at the same conference.

A collection of 50 of Warfield’s papers in seven volumes. Included are publisher's offprints, government reports, research reports, conference papers, proceedings papers, and unpublished manuscripts. The papers are arranged chronologically, beginning with 1968 reports that Warfield did for Ohio Department of Education, continuing with the most significant of the many papers and reports he contributed to the field of Environmental Education. Next are papers from years during which he sought to improve the philosophy which…
