In this "ALL FILES 2001" edition, Warfield has listed all or most of the writings which are now on his computer, and gives for each title the computer filename where they can be found.

INDEXING: There is no overall alphabetical index for the "ALLFILES 2001" document, but instead several alphabetically arranged sub-indexes for separate groups of titles. Some of the titles are in more than one topical group. This is the system that Warfield prefers for indexing his writings, because he feels he can find his papers most easily by doing a topical search

CONTENT: The ALL FILES report contains references not only to Warfield's journal articles and miscellaneous manuscripts, but also to his teaching materials and slide presentations. Although some of his earlier writings have been copied into computer files, and are now on his computer, there are many more early works which have not been digitized, and therefore are not listed in this report.

ARRANGEMENT BY CATEGORIES: Warfield produced several versions of this ALL FILES report, beginning in about 1996. For a number of years he had been trying to create his own categorized list of all of his computer manuscripts. Finally, 1998 he got close to the conclusion of the categorization project, and three years later, after adding several finishing touches, he finally arrived at what he believes provides an adequate guide to his COMPUTER documents. (He has modified and renamed his categories system several times, and possibly this will be the last such revision.)

As of January 2001, Warfield's general writings are now refined into only four major categories, WHICH HE FEELS ENCOMPASS THE AREAS OF HIS INTELLECTUAL AND PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS. Here are the four categories:

1. INFRASTRUCTURE OF SCIENCE

2. SCIENCES

3. APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCE

4. ORGANIZATIONS (THE SITE OF APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCE)

Within each of these four categories, Warfield has created a number of sub-categories for classifying his papers, so that all his written work can be more or less hierarchically structured and studied as a connected whole made up of several parts.

In "ALLFILES 2001," the four major categories given above are only a part of the picture. His manuscripts are also grouped

a) by their general physical type such as TRANSPARENCIES, BIBLIOGRAPHIES, BOOKS, COURSES, PAPERS, PROPOSALS, REPORTS, and

b) by whether they are parts of one or another of his 4 big Works-In-Progress projects, which he has named ESSAYS ON COMPLEXITY, NEW WORK PROGRAM OF COMPLEXITY, Rewrite jobs on SOCIETAL SYSTEMS, and his latest book manuscript first titled A STRUCTURE-BASED SCIENCE OF COMPLEXITY and now titled UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY: THOUGHT AND BEHAVIOR.
