Six attributes are given on a front page, followed by 15 named "Killers" on second page.  A first draft of the "Stalking"paper was written and saved on Warfield's computer in January 1998. Thereafter it was a frequent introduction and reference item in lectures and classes during the 1998 year. It was used not as a separate item, but rather the first page of the longer papers of which it became a part.  An expanded  article which he titled, "Demands of Complexity Meet Killer Assumptions" emphasized the hazards in applying managerial assumptions too fast, too arbitrarily and too narrowly when dealing with highly complex problematic situations.  The "Killers" introductory page was used in May 1998 for a George Mason University Public Policy short course, then for a Ford Motor Company short course in Michigan, then for talks in China, and then for a graduate Colloquium lecture given at Institute of Public Policy, George Mason University, all in summer and fall of 1998.  Later the material became part of Appendix E in Warfield's book Understanding Complexity, 2002. It can be found again in Warfield's unpublished 2009 book manuscript Generic Systems Science (to be published posthumusly).
