First issued by IASIS as a tape-bound manual, these papers are Part 3 of a 3-Part manuscript collection. There are seven papers. All deal with complexity, from different perspectives. All of them are part of the conceptual underpinning for Interactive Management. The manuscript has been indexed and paged for double-sided printing, but does not contain the BACK COVER PAGE which Warfield usually adds when printing copies. Only GMU has a hard copy of the 1997 Mid-Year Volume. The manual has been scanned by GMU Libraries and placed in Warfield Digital Collection where it can be downloaded as a PDF File named Waressays_3.pdf. CONTENTS OF ESSAYS ON COMPLEXITY PART 3.
