Form from George Mason University that verifies Warfield’s work at GMU and the University of Virginia.



Proposal to National Science Foundation. Contains contact information for persons connected with systems movement in the U.S., China and elsewhere and of Chinese organizations and institutions interested in the work of systems science. The grant would have funded workshops and lectures featuring interactive Management and Systems Science.

Theory of Consistent Models

An unfinished article with mathematical definitions and symbols. Includes a rough drawing of a four-part graph/matrix.



A manuscript with 67 mathematical "theorems." A similar paper has 61 mathematical definitions. The two lists may be part of Warfield’s “Index to George J. Friedman's Constraint Theory.”



A total of 61 mathematical “definitions.” A companion paper has 67 “theorems.” The two lists may be part of Warfield’s “Index to George J. Friedman's Constraint Theory.



Official Veterans Administration form filled out with data on Warfield giving subsistence allotment for graduate school training at University of Missouri, 1949. Includes Warfield’s army serial number.

Who is N. Bourbaki?

A fax message from Scott Staley to Warfield that includes copies from two reference materials which explain Bourbaki, the nom de plume of a group of mathematicians working in France.



A computer printout showing a one-page drawing of a structure which has four cycles. Eight or ten short paragraphs on the same page describe how to read the structure. Folded in with the drawing of the structure is a larger drawing of a gigantic flow chart titled: "Requires for Good Results." A caption label on this flow chart says "Generic Requirements Flow for Software Development and Maintenance That is Not Now Being Satisfied.” Likely part of Warfield’s work on his 1986 proposal “ADA Syntax Study and Recommendations: A Proposal to The Software Productivity Consortium, Part I.”



An unfinished paper on the subject of complexity and the use of fields, or categories. The Field is divided into 12 topics, with numerous sub-topics listed under each. The 12 primary topics are: Human Beings, Language, Reasoning, Thought Leaders, Formalisms, Science for Complexity, Models and Modeling, Processes, Education, Organizations, Products and Analysts. Although the two are unrelated, the subject matter of this paper is similar to “Managing the Unmanageable: Structuring Discursivity for the Domain of Complexity.”



A short description of Warfield’s work, contact information for persons familiar with it, and the citations of a few of Warfield’s published writings. It is part of a proposal to do a workshop for the NSF and is a response to a questionnaire from a NSF official.
