MP 457 was the Systems Research editing number of this publication-ready manuscript which Warfield submitted to Mike Jackson, editor of Systems Research in a 2 December 2005 mailing. It has even been converted from Warfield's usual word processor (WordPerfect) into Microsoft Word and also double spaced, so you can tell it is the final version meant for publishing, but it was not published by the journal. I believe that Mike's reviewers didn't like it, or didn't read it or didn't understand it, or all three.. ABSTRACT OF THE PAPER. "In older sciences, conception of a hypothesis evidently yielded a proposition involving the possible impact of one or two variables to be tested. Today, in systems science, the common situation where many variables are involved virtually precludes the conception of such elementary propositions. How, then, can developments involving systems science be supported by hypothesis generation? And if they cannot, how can one support the proposition that systems science can deserve to be called a 'science'? Responses to these two questions are overdue. The causal statement that for so long formed the prototypical hypothesis now can be extended to incorporate a structural graphic, and that can be supplemented with a second graphical type oriented toward action to resolve the problematic situation."

I found a partially finished manuscript with same title as this but shorter and no references, in a manila folder which had a collection of miscellaneous documents connected with Warfield's paper titled "Multiple-Observer Science" which he was working on in year 2005 and 2006 but never published. That's all I can tell you about this paper r.w. 30 Aug 2007.
