Proposal to National Science Foundation. Contains contact information for persons connected with systems movement in the U.S., China and elsewhere and of Chinese organizations and institutions interested in the work of systems science. The grant would have funded workshops and lectures featuring interactive Management and Systems Science.

The original manuscript version, which Warfield preferred, was the same as “Forecast for Systems Science,” except that it had two new footnotes and five additional references. The article reduces all of systems science to four categories: 1) Description of complex situations, 2) Design of solutions or improvements for complex situations, 3) The nature of Complexity, so that practitioners of his work can better understand what they are doing, 4) Methods for taking Action to apply…
Contends that there is an overall lack of recognition of systems as a useful tool. Suggests that enemies of systems science (real or virtual) are suppressing its application out of ignorance or malice.

A loose leaf note-binder with drafts of articles and a reference bibliography. The titles of the documents are: Draft 1– Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education Part 1: Overview Draft 2 – Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education Part II: Dimensionality and Problematique Draft 3 – The Architecture of Systems Learning Draft 4 -- Metrics of Complexity: Toward the Union of Systems, Cybernetics, and Complexity Draft 5 – : The Leaning…
A proposal to Scientific American that Warfield offer a tutorial to readers on what he termed “Warfield systems science.”
A proposal to Scientific American that Warfield offer a tutorial to readers on what he termed “Warfield systems science.”
A short article submitted to Atlantic Monthly that argues politicians have been unable to tear down the cognitive wall that prevents them from working systematically to resolve the issues facing the world. Notes that universities are suffering from the same problem. Suggests that his research and work can be used to tear down this wall. Article was not published.
