Published online, in 2009, in a departmental journal at Texas Tech in Lubbock, but Warfield retains copyright and reprint privileges. There is a complete document on my Dell computer holding copies of the exchanges between Atila and Warfield regarding copyright, it is filename: <Correspondence with Atila.docx> The paper manuscript was sent to GMU 27 September 2007. In digital form it was sent again on 9 January 2009, which was the date that Warfield mailed a DVD or CD containing eleven papers, of which this is one, to Robert Vay, Special Collections & Archives, Fenwick Library, George Mason University. The digitized paper was accessioned at George Mason University Library on 27 January 2009. It is now in both the Fenwick Library box and the Warfield Digital Collection at GMU, and has also been published online by Atila.

This manuscript is Warfield's article which gives the rationale for the two-domain concept in higher education, and explains why the Horizons College should be appended to the university, and explains its role in teaching design and offering a doctorate with emphasis on design projects involving complexity and application of the Work Program of Complexity. Warfield completed this paper about 26 May 2006 but it was not published at that time. On 17 January 2007 the paper was submitted to Systems Research & Behavioral Science but was rejected. Since then he submitted it to other journals, but I don't know which ones. Warfield's comment "None of them appeared to understand it." Finally Atila wanted it, in 2009 for an online publication by his university department. In January, 2007, Warfield began collecting materials in a big blue note-binder for a book to be titled EVOLUTION OF SYSTEMS SCIENCE, and in this collection he included a copy of his paper "The cognition Partition." As of June 2012 this book is unfinished, that is, there is no book manuscript, just a few documents, including this Cognition Partition paper. =========================================================================

NOTE: In Warfield's document <Fenwick Submission.wpd> which Rose Warfield found in a printout and which is probably still on his old computer, Warfield notes the following: "The Cognition Partition: Toward the Horizons College(draft 13)". Atila has accepted. This is #9 in MY Papers in pdf and wpd and doc.” I also found an email from Atila, telling Warfield that authors who published in his online journal would retain the copyright and that it would be o.k. for Warfield to have his article published to the GMU Digital Collection or to do whatever he wanted with it. * Atila Ertas, a professor at Texas Tech in Lubbock TX(This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), was Warfield's colleague in the Society for Design & Process Science (SDPS). Atila is editor of Transdisciplinary Journal of Integrated Design and Process Science (JIDPS), which is an online journal put out from Mechanical Engineering Department, through Texas Tech university web page.

Here is the abstract from the paper, written by Warfield. "The cognition partition is the name given to the division of learning into two domains: the domain of normality and the domain of complexity. Requirements for learning differ vastly between these two domains. The traditional division of learning is based on dividing by topical area, i.e., by discipline; but such a division is unsatisfactory because it implicitly embeds the assumption that there is no cognitive distinction to be made among the disciplines insofar as learning is concerned. Examination of subject matter through the lens of the recent discovery of metrics of complexity makes very clear that many of the disciplines, and especially the social science disciplines, require reorganization for learning, based upon what has been learned about the cognitive aspects of complexity. This requires implementation of the cognition partition, using principles from systems science. Implementation is best accomplished through a dedicated doctoral program in a new university appendage called the Horizons College, which is dedicated to systems design. This will accomplish desirable social objectives while expanding learning opportunities."
