Augmented by a 2-page introductory Preface written in September 1997, this manuscript consists of Chapters 8, 9 and 10 of John's out of print book Societal Systems, using original page numbers, from p. 208 to p. 284. These chapters contain the essential mathematics needed for understanding Interpretive Structural Modeling and for writing the software. The manuscript, an 82 page report, served as a student manual. It was precursor to, “The Mathematics of Structure”

Presented as a four day short course for the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, (ITESM) Monterrey, Mexico, 5-9 June 2000.

A fragment of an article which apparently was intended to be quite long. This manuscript has two outline or contents pages of the projected complete paper, followed by three pages of typed text.

Slides to accompany lecture titled "The Mathematics of Structure," which was planned by Warfield to be Number 4 of an overall series of 14 videotapes to be called "Managing the Unmanageable." A video of this lecture is available.

Discussion of ways to measure complexity using Nominal Group Technique and Interpretive Structural Management (ISM) to gather data that will then be calculated. The Miller Index can then measure the extent of the problem perceived and the Spreadthink Index can measure differences in opinion within a group. Additionally, the De Morgan Index can provide a measurement of the degree of paired relationships among the problems and the Aristotle index can measure the density of logic…

Information relating to the application for a patent. Filed 8 August 1966 by Patent Lawyers Hovey, Schmidt, Johnson & Hovey, Federal Reserve Bank Bldg., Kansas City, Missouri 64106 on behalf of Warfield. Includes nine typed pages, seven unnumbered pages on which are listed 18 numbered "claims" identifying the parts of the invention, one figure pages, and a copy of a two-page document in which Warfield signed over patent rights to Wilcox Electric Co. Patent was…

The ideas in this paper are an outgrowth of Warfield's work for the Environmental Education project between 1976-1978. See also, "Systems Planning for Environmental Education." File includes correspondence related to possible publication.

A series of Workshops presented at three locations in India (Pune, Bombay, and Bangalore), in December 1979. Done in collaboration with Dr. Robert W. House, of Vanderbilt University and Dr. P.N. Murthy, of ITT, Kanpur, India. These workshops, were sponsored by the Indian IEEE and also by two Indian corporations: TATA and Kirloskar.
