Abstract written by Warfield: "Systems history is the study and integration of the jagged eruptions of creative thought that have taken place through time: those events which have brought proper thought about systems to the current state. The study smooths out the jagged eruptions and seems to present a smooth perspective on that current state. But only an understanding of the past can yield a true picture of the present." Tables in this document are: Table 1: The jagged contributions to reasoning Table 2: Testing relevance to systems history Table 3: Jagged behavioral contributions Table 4: Testing relevance to systems history Table 5: The "Warfield Sextet" Table 6: Practitioner Octet Table 7: An Internet Nonet
