This paper opens with a brief discussion of the intellectual history and philosophical underpinning of the work being carried on Warfield's Institute, and continues with a description of the present status of his ambitious goals for study and use of a template based on his DOMAIN OF SCIENCE model "to continue to develop several sciences which he describes as 'integrative'," listing four proposed new sciences by name: Conceptual science, Generic Design science, System science, and Organization science. The "establishment of an archive in the Reserve Section of the Fenwick Library at GMU" is noted, in which the Institute papers can be available to the public. Also, as documentation of the work being done by his institute, Warfield lists titles and gives brief descriptions of seventeen of his institute's recent publications and writings (not mentioning here that Warfield is the author of all 17 of the titles, except one, of which he is co-author with Alexander Christakis).. I don't know the occasion for the writing of this article, nor for whom it was intended. (r.w. circa 2007)
