Warfield gives brief description of his Domain of Science model, and argues that, if people are not thinking in sets, they make prototypical mistakes that propagate throughout society.
Provides brief bio and discussion of work of twelve famous scholars. They are: Peirce, Lasswell, Perry, Vickers, Foucalt, Harary, DeMorgan, Bochenski, Ashby, Boulding, Gibbs, and Hilbert. The section on Peirce is quite long, while short paragraphs are used for other names.
A collection of short intellectual biographies completed between 1995 and 1998. Those studied are: Peirce, Lasswell, Perry, Vickers, Foucalt, Harary, DeMorgan, Bochenski, Ashby, Boulding, Gibbs, Hilbert, and Hayek. At the end of the paper is the large complex table titled "Contributions of the Colleagues of Inheritance" featuring nineteen names of persons whose work contributed to an understanding of complexity.
Transparencies and other material to accompany “Complexity Lecture No. 1.” Dr. John N. Warfield discusses the state of higher education and a series of “Thought Leaders” who significantly influenced his thinking. Part of a series of 12 lectures on complexity given at the Johnson Center, George Mason University. First of three lectures on topic of Philosophy. Unlike others, this lecture was not filmed.
A slideshow including photographs of persons defined by Warfield as thought leaders in human behavior, human Language, and Human "second-order thought" meaning thought about thought. Also includes slides covering the importance and methodologies to be used for quality control in structural modeling of ideas.
Paper printouts of a set 27 PowerPoint slides. Digitized as PDF for download. These slides were created for use with a lecture titled Thought Leaders on Behavioral Pathologies (Managing the Unmanageable Lectures Number 3, filmed June 2000). A video of this lecture is available. This is the third in a series of 14 lectures called “Managing the Unmanageable 2000.” See also MTU2000, The Video Lectures.
These are PowerPoint slides prepared for a videotaped lecture filmed 16 June 2000. A video of this lecture is available. This is the seventh in a series of 14 lectures called “Managing the Unmanageable.”
Demonstrates the problems associated when working with, or trying to understand, categories. Provides an analysis of complexity as an area of three distinct "domains" all of which are understandable and approachable by use of Warfield's methodology. In the process Warfield develops his own strict nomenclature to define categories, sub-categories, fields and subject areas pertaining to his research on Complexity and Systems. The three domains are identified as: 1 - The Basic Relationship Fields Domain 2…
A short preface that should be attached to “Designs for the Future of Environmental Education, Vol. 2.”
Warfield observes three different concepts of reality, held by a physicist, a mathematician and Superman.
A small compendium of three articles bound all in one cover with a short preface. An appendix contains copies of the brochures from Iowa State University Press for Warfield's two books, Handbook of Interactive Management and A Science of Generic Design. The three articles printed in the report were: 1. "Silver Anniversary: Twenty-Five Years of Research on Complexity" written 4 October 1993 2.”Spreadthink: Explaining Ineffective Groups” dated December 1994. (This article was later published in…
Part 2 of a draft book manuscript entitled “Complexity and Drummers.” Both sections later combined into book manuscript titled "Work Program of Complexity."
A discussion of struggles to get funding and office space for continued development of tools to handle complexity along with a review of courses and workshops and publications and lectures overseas.
Report sent to Provost listing the work done by The Institute of Public Policy.
This report is 16 pages, contains lists of Warfield's close colleagues, his publications, and a categorized list of IASIS unpublished reports distributed from his office after GMU's close of Center for Interactive Management in 1989.
