A Variety of Problematiques

Discussion of different types of problematiques which are created using the Nominal Group Technique and Interpretive Structural Modeling. The problematique is a graphical portrayal of a specific aspect of complexity and is a useful alternative to prose when dealing with complex problems. This is a slightly edited version of a paper titled "Discovery and Complexity: A Small Anthology of Problematiques with Interpretations."

 

This 40 page paper was shipped to GMU as a pdf document, on a DVD or CD with other documents in January 2009. The DISK containing this and other documents is stored in Box 99, Folder 7 of Warfield Special Collection. A pdf file of the paper was added to Warfield Digital Collection. There is no hard copy version in GMU collections. The title "A Variety of Problematiques" is a slightly edited version of a paper Warfield first wrote in 1998. The 1998 paper titled "Discovery and Complexity: A Small Anthology of Problematiques with Interpretations" was printed by IASIS (Warfield's office) as the first 40 pages of a 1999 Report, and in 2002 published as Appendix D in Warfield's book Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior. When appearing in 2009 as a digitized paper in the Warfield Digital Collection, the text of 2002 Appendix D seems to be unchanged* except that Warfield had given it a new title “A Variety of Problematiques” and added an end sentence in which the internet digital collection at George Mason University Special Collections and Archives is described as a reference. *NOTE: I AM NOT POSITIVE THE 2009 VERSION IS UNCHANGED, I DID NOT DO A DOCUMENT COMPARE, NOR EXAMINE IT CLOSELY, but the similarities are extensive.
