I believe this 1996 paper was also donated to GMU but I can't find it listed in the SC&A FINDIING AID, so maybe we didn't send it because outdated. R.w. Aug 24, 2013.

Seventeen "Laws" are presented in this article printed as an IASIS report in 1996. Each Law is presented in a "Brief." Each brief gives the title of the law, its origins, references (if any), statement of the law, and its interpretation. A major part of this document first appeared as an October 1991 presentation package of 24 transparencies which was titled "Generic Design Science: Laws of Generic Design". The 24 transparencies were used as class material for courses taught by Warfield at DSMC and also before other audiences. I think he passed the packet out at Ann Arbor, Michigan and at Bell Northern, among other places. Later Warfield updated the presentation package, and the material became "17 Laws of Complexity" which Warfield discussed in his October 1993 "Structural Thinking - Silver Anniversary" paper, and also in his 1995 Systems Research paper titled "Demands Imposed on Systems Science by Complexity" and it was also printed as "Chapter 9. Briefs of the Laws of Complexity" in the May 1995 monograph "Complexity and Drummers" (and possibly other papers, but I don't know when or which). In 1996 a new version of the manuscript was prepared and printed for distribution as a separate report, with the title "Laws of Complexity." In cow036, Figure 3 on page 7 is an INTELLIDRAW document which must be printed separately ("Interactions in Interpreting Laws of Complexity"coi03.idw)

INFORMATION ON THE TWO "LAWS" ARTICLES WHICH HAVE NOW SUPERCEDED "LAWS OF COMPLEXITY" 

In March of 1997, Warfield again updated the article adding three new laws, and he changed the title to "Twenty Laws of Complexity" On April 29, 1997 the document was submitted for publication, sent to Systems Research journal edited by Michael Jackson, in Lincoln, England. The article was also incorporated into a compendium of Warfield's papers which he printed in August 1997 in spiral bound IASIS monograph titled "Essays on Complexity." In 1998 Editor Mike Jackson asked for extensive revision of the article prior to its publication in Systems Research. The revisions were completed in 1998 and the publication ready manuscript sent to England. In 1999 the final revision "Twenty Laws of Complexity: Science Applicable in Organizations" appeared in print in the journal.
