Hard copy of course materials and individual handouts were not sent to GMU, instead John prepared three tape-bound reports, titled Lecture Groups 1, 2, and 3, which were shipped to Fenwick in 2000 and are in Box 36 of Warfield Special Collection. This was Complexity Lecture No. 2 of a series of 12 lectures given during 1998 Fall Semester at GMU. This talk was planned to be the first of three on the subject of SCIENCE, during the Johnson Center lecture series on Complexity. The lecture was NOT videotaped, because no videotaping had been planned, and none begun until Lecture No. 3 after Benjamin Broome suggested videos and lined up the student video outfit which taped most of the other lectures. A set of twelve transparencies for audience handout and to use for overhead display is the only manuscript prepared for this talk. These documents were also printed in a tape-bound booklet issued after the series ended, titled JOHNSON CENTER LECTURE SERIES ON COMPLEXITY : LECTURE GROUP 1. The booklet is in Box 36, Folder 9 of GMU's Warfield Collection at Fenwick Library. The topics covered are Twenty laws of Complexity, Three Categories of the Laws, and Five Indices of Complexity, with values determined from applications. Below are titles of the individual cells in the handouts given to audience.
Copies of all these cells were printed and distributed to the attendees as the lecture began. The Central Message;The Role of Technology in the Domain of Complexity; Recognizing a Science When You See One; Components of My Science of Complexity; Categories of the Laws of Complexity; Some Laws of Complexity: 1. Behavioral and Physiological Some Laws of Complexity. 2. Behavioral and Organizational Some Laws of Complexity. 3. Behavioral and Habitual Some Laws of Complexity. 4. Mathematics-Based Some Laws of Complexity. 5. Media-Based; Five Indices of Complexity: A List; Five Indexes of Complexity With Details.
