A review of Warfield’s Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior written by Ioannes B. Kapelouzos, who served as a Judge in the Greek Supreme Court.
Printouts of many of Warfield’s teaching transparencies.
A summary of Warfield’s research program on complexity as related to the Panetics Society’s goal of reducing suffering on a large scale.
A biographical piece that lists Warfield’s publications, his colleagues and his professional activities between 1956 and 1998.
This is simple line drawing of the Greek letter "Sigma" with boxed captions at each of its five angles. A caption inside the Sigma-Five boxes reads: “The situation room the participants, the facilitator, the consensus methodologies, the computer.” These are the five factors which Warfield identified as integral to generic design. First appeared in "Education in Generic Design."
This is just a one page pdf of scanned graphics, to help keep the titles all straight.
An unfinished paper with three sections: language, behavioral pathologies and thought about thought.
Warfield’s “long vita.” Includes list of books, papers, presentations and website information.
Warfield calls on System Engineers to “evolve toward Systems Science.” See also, “A Challenge for Systems Engineers: To Evolve Toward Systems Science: Part 2." For more information please see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/inst.20071045a.
Email correspondence with students Greg Thomas in Nashville, TN, Nermine Khalifa at Middlesex University, UK and Jose Manuel in Mexico informing them of how to find and download Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) Software and Interactive Management processes.
A set of transparencies Warfield used during classes. Later published in A Science of Generic Design, in the sections dealing with options fields and options profiles.
A follow-up note to efforts to try and develop market software for McIntosh/Apple.
A list of papers (and a few books) published or written between the years 1959-1993, with the majority of the papers dated after 1970. See notes field for description and history of the “IASIS File.”
A list of Warfield’s publications between 2003 and 2008 he prepared for friends and colleagues.
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.”

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.
A collection of 86 PowerPoint slide presentations Warfield assembled in 2007. It includes the 14 slide shows in a previous PowerPoint series titled MTU2000, but in some cases the older slides have been updated, or rewritten and won't be exactly the same. See also, “MTU2000, the Video Lectures.”
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…
