Hard copies of course materials and individual handouts to accompany “Complexity Lecture No. 9.” Part of a series of 12 lectures on complexity given at the Johnson Center, George Mason University. First of three lectures on the topic of Philosophy. The full title of this lecture is "The Legacy of Charles Sanders Peirce and the Experience of the Peirce Biographer (Joseph Brent, Historian, Ph. D.)." A VHS video is available under “Philosophy 3: The Legacy…

A newspaper article that contains photograph and a short biography of Warfield.

Written shortly after he attended the June short course taught by Warfield & Roxana Cardenas, this letter is a suggestion from Mr. R. Bruce Borthwick, that the Warfield courses become integrated into the Public Policy curriculum as mandatory requirement for doctoral degrees.

The first in a series of email postings on education. Review of work done studying “the span of immediate recall” that show that individual human beings lack the mental capacity to recall more than a small number of concepts at any one time. This limited capacity severely restricts the individual’s ability to construct mental models of more than a small degree of complexity.

The second in a series of email postings on education. Contends that, because individuals can't cope with complexity, groups of individuals may be organized to help with a problem. But that doesn't guarantee a solution, it is just a helpful step toward one.

Proposes a start on building what laymen would call a “technical vocabulary” for the field of systems science. Notes that an agreed upon, useful language of systems science does not exist. Proceeds to propose a set of linguistic adjustments as a way of moving from the present state of the language toward a sorely-needed, functional state of discursivity.

Same list as in list -I but different subset of data. This is just an extra memo to support writing the paper which would be completed later. See also, “List of condensed Patterns for Complexity Studies-I.”

Manuscript titles are grouped under about 7 topical headings and outlines/notes on one or more article.

This is unfinished. A WIP paper. Seven Patterns are named in a contents list. Four or five of them have descriptive paragraphs, other paragraphs are not yet written, but tables to use with this paper have been inserted: Categories Field: Essays on Complexity; Inclusion Structure for Four Areas of Complexity; Categories of Laws of Complexity (Behaviorally based, Media based, Mathematically based). See also, “List of Condensed Patterns for Complexity Studies-II.”

This document is Appendix 1 of a larger manuscript titled "National Medal of Technology: 1994-1995 Nomination" submitted by H. Alberts.

Publications Related to Interpretive Structural Modeling B. Publications Related to Interactive Management C. Publications Related to the Science of Generic Design D. Publications Primarily on…

Part 2. Designed to accompany talk at Defense Systems Management College, Ft. Belvoir, VA on 16 August 1996. This document is unfinished, there are 6 pages of tables designed for the paper, but only the first three tables are filled in with descriptors. The table design is four columns, with column headings of Type of Control, Phase 1- Planning; Phase 2 - Workshop; and Phase 3 - Implementation. In the vertical Type of Control column…

This document is missing. Would like to find a copy of it. I believe it is a newsletter article. Printed under this title in Pennsylvania State University Engineering Review, December 1953. p. 68.
