Creating an Interactive Systems Science Program in Higher Education
Proposal for a new approach to the teaching of science, especially systems science, in the nation’s colleges. If put into practice it would have disrupted much of the traditional teaching patterns in higher education. Warfield terms this new program “The Horizons College” and would be based in the concept of science developed by Aristotle and updated by Charles Sanders Peirce. Includes a twelve-point framework outline of the program. See also, “Wandwaver Solution.”

Seven Challenges for Information System Designers
Describes seven challenges for information system designers. Similar to earlier paper entitled "Seven Challenges." The challenges named by Warfield are Second-order Thought, Behavioral Pathologies, Discursivity, Quality-control Principles, Metrics of Complexity, Physical Infrastructure, and Synergy. To view full copyrighted abstract written in Warfield's own words please use https://www.researchgate.net/publication/290317458_Seven_challenges_for_information_system_designers. Although there are differences in the introduction, abstract and references, the main body of "Seven Challenges for Information System Designers" is identical to the earlier article titled "Seven…
This section discusses findings from behavioral research and suggests two methods from systems science that work around common behavioral pathologies that often frustrate efforts to resolve complexity. For part 1, see "A Challenge for Systems Engineers: To Evolve Toward Systems Science: Part 1." For further information please use https://mafiadoc.com/systems-science_59b8017d1723ddd8c6ad54ef.html.

The Complexicon: Transforming Complexity into Understanding
John Warfield's "Complexicon" is a seven-level flow chart with captions for each box in the flow-chart. There are thirteen flow chart boxes in the drawing, intended to represent the field of Systems Science and its tools for dealing with complexity. Each box in the Complexicon flow chart contains a set of Numbers. Each number represents a slide show lecture available to the viewer from Warfield's "Complexicon Table" in the online file named: "Managing the Unmanageable…

Organizing the Complexicon: Transforming Complexity into Understanding (Complexicon without text)
A graphic flow chart displaying the 13 categories as an interrelated seven-level structure. It is intended to represent the field of Systems Science and its tools for dealing with complexity. For further details, see “The Complexicon: Transforming Complexity into Understanding (A Seven-Level Structure with Notes)” and “Managing the Unmanageable PowerPoint Presentations.”

THE ASYMMETRIC LEARNING TRAIT
Contends that higher education has been too focused on developing individuals with a talent for critical thinking, i.e., analysis and has ignored the opposite component of the paired human learning trait; i.e., synthesis or design. Urges a more balanced approach. To view the full copyrighted abstract written in Warfield's own words please use https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262234219_The_Asymmetric_Learning_Trait.
