Provides information on one-week short courses which Warfield developed. He describes them as "concentrated educational experiences relating to complexity." They are designed for high intensity full-day saturation training, a method which Warfield believes to be a preferable learning situation for this type of education. There are eight different short courses, which are of a more or less consecutive nature. Their titles: 1) Complexity and Drummers 2) Demands Imposed on Research and Writing by Complexity 3)…

Asserts that large-scale systems are being designed with the same philosophy as small-scale systems and argues that this is a significant factor in their failure. Calls for scholars and professionals to work with political leadership to develop standards for large-scale system design and strive for world-wide legislation that would protect humanity against irresponsible design of systems which produce world-wide consequences. Presented at the International Society for General Systems Research, 1-6 June 1987, Budapest, Hungary. See…

Discusses the problem of errors in science caused by basic language definitions of terms used in any given science are not universally coherent. Attempts to synthesize the science of definition by use of mathematical theory, including the introduction of a new mathematical concept which he calls “Gradation of Belief.”
