A series of 15 transparencies that were part of a planned lecture in Toluca, Mexico. Due to illness, the presentation was never made. See notes field for a list of the transparencies.

Communications between Jim Finkelstein and Warfield in regards to the School of Public Policy’s attempt to rescue a United States Postal Service contract under the U.S. Office of Inspector General regarding fraud in the Postal Service, which was about to be canceled.

A short article submitted to Atlantic Monthly that argues politicians have been unable to tear down the cognitive wall that prevents them from working systematically to resolve the issues facing the world. Notes that universities are suffering from the same problem. Suggests that his research and work can be used to tear down this wall. Article was not published.

A proposal to Scientific American that Warfield offer a tutorial to readers on what he termed “Warfield systems science.”

Communications between Warfield and George Klir, editor of International Journal of General Systems about the publication of "Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education: Overview."

A list of 23 persons who studied with Warfield in one way or another. Often appeared as an appendix to articles or reports. See, for example, “The Asymmetric Learning Trait.”

Contends that there is an overall lack of recognition of systems as a useful tool. Suggests that enemies of systems science (real or virtual) are suppressing its application out of ignorance or malice.

The original manuscript version, which Warfield preferred, was the same as “Forecast for Systems Science,” except that it had two new footnotes and five additional references. The article reduces all of systems science to four categories: 1) Description of complex situations, 2) Design of solutions or improvements for complex situations, 3) The nature of Complexity, so that practitioners of his work can better understand what they are doing, 4) Methods for taking Action to apply solutions or improvements for complex situations. It concludes with a list of references. This version did not appear in print. But, an edited version (“A Proposal for Systems Science (published version)”) was published.
