Discusses Clanthink and its effects on organizations and group processes. Originally titled “Clanthink Assures Institutionalized Mediocrity” and sent to Short Circuit: The Newsletter of Engineering Empowerment for publication.
Unfinished talk that discusses cognitive viability. Includes series of tables and display pages intended as transparencies to be used with talk.
Talk presented at the NASA-ASEE Summer Design Workshop on Systems Engineering, 18 June 1979 Langley Field, Virginia.
Presented by Center for the Study of Race & Ethnic Relations, George Mason University, Fairfax, 1 Virginia, November 1989.
Exchange of letters between Warfield and Philip Lally that discuss previously published article by Warfield entitled "Corrective System for Minimizing TACAN-DME Spurious Radiation.”
Critique of “A Preliminary Framework for Urban Model Building” by B. Golden and A. Assad. Argues current model of urban design is flawed and ineffective. Asserts that methodology proposed by Warfield and others could be applied to produce a better model of urban design. Presented at International Working Conference on Model Realism, Bad-Honnef, West Germany, 20-23 April 1982.

Introductory explanation of a series of three Interactive Management Workshops. Introduces and describes “indexes of complexity” and displays the Sigma Five Plus figure to outline the components of interactive Management. Presented at Science & Technology Policy Research Institute, Ghana Council for Scientific & Industrial Research, Accra, Ghana 7 January 1997.
Review submitted as part of George Mason University’s process of reviewing Warfield’s manuscript for potential publication. Reviewer highly recommended publication.
Invited talk, presented at the First Interloquium on the Twenty-First Century, Guanajuato, Mexico, 21 March 1994. Includes diagrams displaying results of conference and excepts from Interloquium reports which list participants.
Systematic analysis and comparison of the five schools of complexity. The developed and applied foregrounds of the schools are then prospected. See also, “An Effective Approach to Manage Complexity of Organizations: The Structure-Based Science of Complexity.”
Correspondence that includes comparison between K. Kawamura and A.P. Sage.
Accopress binder with an abstract, handwritten notes, formulas, graphs and a copy of the 1980 paper “Complementary Relations and Map Reading.”
Presents new insights into necessary conditions for groups to arrive at cognitive equilibrium in relation to complex issues. Three "Laws" relating to conduct and understanding of group work are postulated: the “Law of Inherent Conflict,” the “Law of Structural Underconceptualization” and the “Law of Uncorrelated Extremes.”
A Manual for a five day short course entitled Topics in Public Policy: Complexity and Drummers given at George Mason University in The Institute of Public Policy (TIPP) with assistance of A. R. Cardenas and S.M. Staley, on 5-9 June 1995 (Course No. PUBP 833-401). Nearly all of this material has been incorporated into Warfield’s book Work Program of Complexity.
Discusses the nature of complexity in higher education. Presented at George Washington University, University Club, 16 August 1995.

A report written for a U. S. Dept. of Health, Education & Welfare contract. Presents a survey of previous Environmental Education strategies nationwide and advocates a new approach, which integrated ISM methodologies as a tool for environmental studies. Warfield introduces his RELS (Regional Environmental Learning System) concept as a model for how to think about developing environmental education through local initiative. Concludes with a review of methodologies suitable for implementing this concept.
This is a two-page table of contents for a 3 ring note binder. The document is one of two separate items with duplicate TITLES, but different CONTENTS. John used same title for a note binder and again for a chapter in a book. For more information, see “Demands of Complexity on Integrative Communication.”
A report on a workshop held at the University of the Aegean, Island of Chios, Greece, 24-27 August, 1988, organized by the University of the Aegean in cooperation with George Mason University. The report contains the `Chios Declaration' adopted by the conference. This Declaration, a document which addresses the human need to master complexity, was signed by 24 persons associated with the workshop. Nineteen people, from six nations were active workshop participants.
A paper with the aim of proposing the concept of "Dimensionality" for general scientific purposes having an expanded meaning that encompasses earlier meanings, and which has the power to bring needed discipline to large-scale systems design. Zwicky's morphological box is used as a takeoff point to introduce the concept of "spaces of dimensionality higher than three." Shows that (in spite of reluctance of humans to grasp multi-dimensional problems) there exists a methodology where problems of…
