A partial draft of a paper not yet finished. After viewing the bipartite graphs in Friedman's paper on Constraint Theory, this paper was begun to propose the use of Lattice and Closed Hierarchy as useful methods in interpreting large aggregated structural models.
Rose Warfield composed this memo written for Dan Warfield’s publishing needs. He was looking for organization of the database titles, etc. and this list might be the source needed.
Presents seventeen “laws,” each in a “Brief.” Each brief gives the title of the law, its origins, references (if any), statement of the law, and its interpretation. A major part of this document first appeared as an October 1991 presentation package of 24 transparencies which was titled "Generic Design Science: Laws of Generic Design." This article has been superseded by “Twenty Laws of Complexity” (1997) and “Twenty Laws of Complexity” (1999).
A compact list of all the PowerPoint slide shows that were on Warfield’s computer in 2007.
Describes the system of intermittent management practice called "Interactive Management" which is based on a new science called the "Science of Generic Design." A 1990 book by Peter Senge entitled The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of Learning Organization (New York: Doubleday) urges similar ideas of systems thinking, but fails to specify the methodology for putting these ideas into practice. Interactive Management, by contrast, does supply and specify the methods and processes which can…
An unfinished manuscript on higher education and education in general. The paper states that “it is absolutely necessary to develop and portray other learning patterns that offer both the hope of significant improvement in learning, and the hope of diminished cost of institutionalized learning.”
Warfield advocates a kind of modeling in which learning by the group participants is envisaged as its principle outcome. The published article is a revised and enlarged version of Warfield's manuscript “Learning Through Model Building,” presented earlier at a conference in Colorado in 1980. Includes a helpful table not found in original.
This is Number 1 of a 3-volume set of IASIS Reports on a series of lectures given by John Warfield during the 1998 Fall Semester at George Mason University. The lectures dealt with the four topics which Warfield believed to be relevant to the subject of Complexity: Philosophy, Science, Applications, and Higher Education. Contains materials such as copies of transparencies and other printed information prepared as handouts for the lecture audience. See notes field for…

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.”
