A list Warfield made in preparation for indexing an article Warfield had been studying by James E. Alvey.

A key-word or finding aid list, which corresponds to items in “Excerpts List.”

A numbered list of reference and resource articles which Warfield collected and stored in his Economics Research Note-Binders. See also, “Topics List.”

A list of 13 numbered “elements” and four hand-drawn diagrams, three of which are scratched out as unsatisfactory. The fourth diagram is in the form of a flow-chart with three extra boxes to the side and is labeled “The Axiomatic Structure.”

A list of 14 “elements” for a structure of ideas. Includes Warfield’s handwritten notations.

Part of a proposed structuring of ideas.

A draft manuscript that explores the philosophies of various economists and presents his own approach to the study of economics. This was meant as a preface or introduction to his larger project. Writers mentioned include Rothbard, Foucault, von Mises, Warfield, Saint-Simon, Comte, Adam Smith, Jevons, Hayek, Peirce, and Popper.

An exchange of email messages between Warfield and Zhichang Zhu, the book review editor for Systems Research Journal. As part of his ongoing Economics Research project, Warfield was considering submitting both a book review and an article related to the book’s theme at the same time.

Chronological description of the contributions made by Aristotle, through Abelard, Leibniz, Boole, De Morgan, Peirce and Harary. Warfield sees these men as the fathers of the development of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and is a graphical depiction of the “history of ideas.”

The contributions from the thinking of Aristotle, through Abelard, Leibniz, Boole, De Morgan, Peirce and Harary are described briefly and fitted chronologically into a table on just one page, creating a display of how these seven men were the fathers of the development of ISM in the USA in 1974. This graphic is a history of ideas in a nutshell. Dates on the beginnings of this table: August 1997, in WordPerfect Times Roman font, in outline but unfinished, the table is in Preface of the draft book manuscript "Essays on Complexity" with filename cow106. December 1997, in WordPerfect Times Roman font, the table in cow106.wpd is a finished graphic, with John N. Warfield 1997 copyright statement on the document. Fall, 1998, the copyrighted file cow106.wpd is printed in a report now in Box 36 Folder 10 listed in the GMU Finding Aid as: "George Mason University Johnson Center Lecture Series on Complexity: Lecture Group 2," Year 2000 seems to be the year Warfield changed all his cell file names.cow106 became cel287 with the font changed to Times Roman Arial font and the copyright statement and file names formerly on the title bar are deleted, presumably for presentation in the next book manuscript. I think this cell has been used either in Understanding Complexity or in Introduction to Systems Science, or maybe both. R.w. 29 September 2014

An email to Ray Harrell in which Warfield explains the method and interpretive system he intended to use in writing a paper on Economics Research.
